Bella is finally back with her family after being returned by the woman suspected of taking her. Â Now, Amanda Shamese Bynum stands accused of trying to extort money from the family for the return of Bella. Â She also faces a host of other charges.
Bella’s family said that the individual that took Bella is the same person that returned her. Â It wasn’t without a great deal of convincing, but she is finally home.
The reports say that Bella wandered a bit farther away than she should have while her family was unloading groceries. Â Eyewitnesses say that a passerby in their vehicle stopped, picked up Bella and drove away.
Soon after, Bella could be found on a social media website. Â She was wearing a costume and appeared to be for sale on Bynum’s page.
Bella is safely at home now. Â There’s still a legal battle ahead, but Bella’s family is just very happy to have her back. Â Bynum did manage to post bail and is awaiting her next court date. Â When news sources attempted to contact Bynum, she did not answer, nor return any messages left.
