STORY OF RICKY CHAKEVDIA DUE TO SOME CIRCUMSTANCES HE WAS HIDING IN THE WALL



 A kid supposedly snatched in a care question almost a long time back has turned up alive, stowing away with his mom in a little, uncommonly constructed secret room at his grandma's Illinois home, examiners said.

Richard "Ricky" Chekevdia, who turns 7 on Sept. 14, was feeling great and in great shape in the wake of being found Friday by specialists with a court request to look through the two-story provincial home in southern Illinois' Franklin County, around 120 miles southeast of St. Louis.

The kid's mom, 30-year-old Shannon Wilfong, is accused of crime kid snatching. The grandma, 51-year-old Diane Dobbs, is accused of helping and abetting. Wilfong stayed imprisoned Saturday on $42,500 bond in Benton, Illinois, where Dobbs was being hung on $1,000 bond. The ladies didn't have lawyers recorded Saturday in web-based court records.

The kid was remaining Saturday with one of his dad's family members while state kid government assistance laborers researched claims the dad manhandled the youngster before his vanishing — charges dismissed by the father, who's excited the horrifying pursuit has finished.

"Two years? You have no clue," Mike Chekevdia, a 48-year-old previous cop who's a lieutenant colonel in the Illinois National Guard, said when the kid turned up. "I've worried. I've shed pounds. I've put on weight. I wouldn't wish this on anyone."

Subsequent to hearing his child had been found, Chekevdia said, "you might have pushed me over with a plume."

Chekevdia won brief guardianship of his child in no time before the kid and his mom — Chekevdia's previous sweetheart — vanished in November 2007. Chekevdia said he long thought his child was being stashed by Dobbs, despite the fact that there were no indications of the kid at her home when it was looked with her assent after his vanishing. Wilfong was accused in December 2007 of stealing the kid yet couldn't be found.

For a large part of the time since, Chekevdia said, the windows of Dobbs' house were closed off by drawn conceals or different things, probably to keep anybody from looking inside.

"I had a firm conviction he was in there, and yesterday it was affirmed," Chekevdia said.

Examiners, during a news meeting Friday, didn't detail what drove sheriff's delegates and government marshals with a court order to Dobbs' home Friday, when they tracked down the kid and his mom in a hideout about 5 feet by 12 feet (1.5 meter by 3.5 meter) and about the level of a clothes washer.

"We let him out of the (watch)vehicle and he went around such that will most likely never see again outside. It was very miserable," Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Stan Diggs said. "He was extremely glad to be outside. He said he won't ever head outside."

"Shockingly," Diggs added, "Ricky is in generally excellent spirits. For somebody who's been detached in that house with no other external creatures, he's an extremely friendly, exceptionally respectful, extremely garrulous young man."

Dobbs, the grandma, told the Southern Illinoisan paper of Carbondale, Ill., last year that her little girl had been constrained into stowing away to keep the kid from his dad. Dobbs called the guardianship debate a "bad dream for us all."

Chekevdia, anxious to get his child back in school and to a dental specialist, expressed hanging tight for Ricky to reemerge required persistence.

"It's difficult to just enjoy the moment things happen when you're accustomed to getting things going," said Chekevdia, a tactical official who served in Iraq recently. "In any case, I just awaited my chance and let the framework work."
