James and Durham were kidnapped from their home while mother and son were getting ready to go to the doctor, Batson said. Durham put her son in the child seat in the back seat of their vehicle, Batson said.

Belt arrived at the house and asked for help waking up Durham’s husband, David, who was in the house, Batson said.
“She walked in there and when she walked in, the guy hit her in the back of the head and she fell to the ground,” said Batson, who spoke with Durham on Sunday. “He got mad because she didn’t get knocked out with the first hit so he hit her two or three more times. She would never knock out.”

Belt, blindfolded Durham, tied her hands and put her in the car, with James in the back seat, Batson said. The suspect drove, and when he stopped, her took off Durham’s blindfold and untied her hands.

Durham tried to fight back, but Belt shoved her down a 100 foot and drove off with James, Batson said.

Jessica was found the next day, Saturday, and was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. Batson said her sister has a broken ankle, a shattered pelvic bone, internal bleeding and head trauma. Durham is on oxygen but will live, Batson said.
Belt was arrested Saturday night and is being held in the Jackson County jail. He is charged with kidnapping James and Durham, assault and tampering with evidence, according to jail records. He admitted to painting over Jessica’s blood in her residence, court records said.

I wonder if perhaps Belt worked as a handyman for them in the past and that's why he was able to "paint over her blood"? Or maybe the husband got up and left without noticing anything and Belt came back when the house was empty-- Jessica was leaving to go to the doctor with the boy so if her husband didn't hear the struggle he could have been oblivious to them being in danger and just left to go to work or something.

The other guy is her husband. Something is wonky with this story. Not sure yet but there are pieces that make no sense----like throwing her over a cliff and repainting her walls. Unless it is a reporter error. I had read that LE spent a lot of time at the kidnapper's place. I had figured the blood was there.

Since James (age 5) surname is different from his mother and his mother's husband, then there must be a biological father out there. The name of Spoonamore is an old name of Kentuckians I saw on ancestry links because people post there, and James Spoonamore is common in the family.

I'm rather certain much more will be coming out in days to come and hope that Mrs. Durham recovers at least physically from this trauma shes suffered.

I, obviously Gardener1850, am not a moderator, but I would think you could, the incident goes hand in hand, he is missing as a result of what was done to her.

Thanks, I'll wait for official word. Don't want to get in trouble. Others may wish to google her name and James' last name for their own info only
