Fake Abduction Plotted to Land Man in Prison

When it comes to alarm systems like AMBER alert and other neighborhood child-security systems, one expects a high degree of trust. Community crime monitoring is just something about which we inherently want to have faith since it involves people like us with similar goals. It’s not something one expects to see exploited.
However, according to Utah’s Weber County authorities, a recent Ogden kidnapping case was actually a mendacious scheme created by individuals to land the so-called perpetrator in jail.
Earlier this week, it was reported that an eleven-year-old girl was abducted from an Ogden park by a man reportedly a sex offender. A woman called in the molestation to 911, but just a couple days later, on September 3rd of 2009, a judge dismissed the charges.
Prosecutors now admit that the man was actually the victim of an elaborate plot whose machinations were orchestrated by his fiance. The 51-year-old man, Fernando Deleon-Barrios, was initially charged with attempted kidnapping, but the imbroglio was just an invention dreamed up by three plotting women intent on landing him in jail for undisclosed reasons.
The cabal’s ring leader was Deleon-Barrios’s 28-year-old fiance, Rosalina Urrutia of Clearfield, Utah, whose motives remain unclear.
D.A. Dee Smith told the press that he has never seen such a case, telling ksl.com, “They had a wedding date scheduled for later this year. Now whether this was her way of getting out of a marriage she didn’t want to participate in, or some other motive, I don’t know.”
Rosalina Urrutia’s main partner-in-crime was her sister Carmen Urrutia. Together they recruited and paid an 11-year-old girl and her aunt Maria Osorio to participate. “The 11-year-old girl had been manipulated, bribed, and even coerced to get her to participate,” said Dee Smith.
It all transpired last Saturday when the aunt and the girl were at an Ogden park. Apparently the fiance told her soon-to-be husband Deleon-Barrios that they were meeting across the street at the Days Inn hotel and to give the girl a ride while all the other women left in a different car. He did as he was told, and that’s when an unidentified woman called 911 to report the “suspicious behavior,” claiming she had seen an older man leading a hesitant girl into a room at the Days Inn.
“We’re not certain as to her knowledge of the scheme,” Smith said, “But she was certainly recruited by these individuals, and it was part of the scheme.”
Police arrested the aunt, Maria Osorio, on September 3rd, but they’re still looking for the two chief conspirators, the Urrutia sisters. Prosecutors also say that the little girl admitted her part in the plot, but details were minimal. It wasn’t said if charges will be pressed against whomever called 911, but false reporting and witness tampering could result in felony charges.
