Atlanta Black Star - A white couple from rural West Virginia is back behind bars after a
judge revoked the initial bond and raised it to $500,000 apiece — more
than double the amount they faced last year when police arrested the
pair on charges of locking their adopted Black children in a barn and
forcing them to work as “slaves.” Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, both of
Sissonville, were ordered to reappear in Kahanwha County Court on June
11, more than eight months after each posted a $200,000 bond following
their arrests in October. At the time, police conducting a wellness check at the Cheyanne Lane
home were shocked to discover two of the couple’s five adopted children
living in deplorable conditions, padlocked inside a ramshackle storage
shed on the back of the property, which had no working lights or running
water.
