2017 missing person found

In 2017, The Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office reached out to the public asking for assistance in locating Felisha Scroggins, 24, and her 3-year-old-daughter, Natalie. Family members of Scroggins said that she also goes under the name of Felisha MacCabee, and that they had not heard from Felisha since August 16, 2017. Earlier this week, Paris Texas Police Officers were advised of a welfare concern in the 2800 block of Bonham St. It was reported to officers that a couple had been living in a van in the Home Depot Parking lot. A local family had decided to try to assist the couple in question. The van was in inoperable condition and the local family providing assistance were having the vehicle moved to their residence so it could be repaired. On January 31, Detectives of the Paris Police Department returned to the residence in the 2800 block of Bonham St and made contact with both the male and adult female subjects. The female identified herself as Ruth Maccabee but later gave the name of Felisha Lynn Scroggins. After seeing the conditions they were living in both Scroggins and Alvarez were taken into custody for Failure to Identify as Witness and Endangering a child, due to the conditions the child was being forced to exist in. The case remains open and the investigation will continue.
