"The Brooklyn mom who allegedly insisted her long-missing 11-year-old autistic son did not exist was released from Rikers Island this week after her lawyers argued for her Fifth Amendment rights, law enforcement sources said. Jacqueline Pritchett, 50, was cut loose Tuesday from the notorious city jail complex where she'd been held since October on a family court warrant for allegedly refusing to answer questions about her son, Jacob Pritchett."
"Detectives ultimately brought a K9 dog into the apartment, which detected traces of human blood in or around the refrigerator, the sources said. But investigators found no signs of the boy - who neighbors claimed hadn't been seen for about two months, cops and sources said. Following that visit, Jacqueline was taken to the hospital, where she was considered an "emotionally disturbed person," the sources said."
Jacqueline Pritchett, 50, was released from Rikers Island after her attorneys invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Pritchett had been held since October on a family court warrant for allegedly refusing to answer questions about her 11-year-old autistic son, Jacob Pritchett, who went missing in September. Child welfare officials and police searched the home where Jacob was believed to have lived; a K9 detected traces of human blood in or around the refrigerator, but investigators found no sign of the boy. Pritchett was later treated as an emotionally disturbed person. Authorities searched a landfill and released an age-progression image; there were no updates on Jacob's whereabouts.
