Lena Lunsford has been arrested, however these charges are not related to the case of missing Aliayah Lunsford.
According to the criminal complaint, Lena Lunsford did knowingly transfer a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card issued in her name and Personal Identification Number (PIN) issued to her to a person known to the United States Attorney, in order for that person to use the benefits on defendant Lena Lunsford’s SNAP EBT card to purchase approximately $114.82 of food in exchange for $50 in United States Currency.

Lunsford was released on her own personal recognizance Monday afternoon and is currently out free.
FBI investigators would not say if Lunsford is a suspect in her daughter’s disappearance.
“I’m not going over who’s a suspect… We’re not labeling anybody a suspect at this time. That investigation remains ongoing. We’re still committed to resolving this case favorably,” says FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen.
Investigators are still looking at surveillance videos.
“We continue to get evidence everyday, in the form of most particularly, video evidence. Again, as I said last week, we’re looking very, very hard at video evidence. There’s a lot of public and private facilities around this area that have video cameras and video capability so we have scoured the area and it takes a long time. We’re trying to have a lot of that enhanced,” says Killeen.
If you think you have any video evidence that can help investigators, call the WVSP Weston Detachment at 304-269-0500.
