Spirakis and Strickland are charged with criminal sexual conduct with minor in the first degree, sexual exploitation of a minor in the first degree, and engaging a child for sexual performance.

On Jan. 25, Horry County police were told of a sexual assault to children that occurred in the county but was reported elsewhere, according to Lt. Mark Bonner.

The children have been placed with a guardian by the N.C. Department of Social Services, Bonner said.

An unnamed witness told police she had been providing counseling to the two 4-year-old victims – a male and female from Tabor City, N.C. – since May 1 after an N.C. DSS investigation found the victims were being forced to have sex with their siblings and other family members, according the a police report. A forensic interview in N.C. suggested the victims needed trauma focused therapy, the report said.

From May 1 to Jan. 10, 2016, the victims provided “very little information at a time during the therapy sessions” about the abuse, the report said. On Jan. 11, both victims said their family members “force them to have sex with their siblings and each other.”

The victims also said their family members would have sex with the victims and would make the female victim have sex with Spirakis, according to the report.

Some of the assaults possibly occurred at what the victims called “the dance club,” which was later identified as Chez Joey, a strip club located at 716 Seaboard St. in Myrtle Beach.

The victims said Lindsey Honeycutt, worked as a dancer at Chez Joey and would bring the victims with her “until she gets off” work, police said. Spirakis and Strickland are accused of sexually abusing the victims as well, police said.

On Feb. 24, the victims told police there were multiple locations of the sexual assaults. The locations are: 407 Queens Rd. in Myrtle Beach; 808 48th Ave. N. in Myrtle Beach; and at Chez Joey in Myrtle Beach, according to arrest warrants.

The Queens Road residence is registered to a Peter Spirakis, who is related to Panteleimon Spirakis, according to property records. The 48th Avenue North address is registered to Strickland, according to records.

On Tuesday Horry County police – along with several other jurisdictions – arrested the four suspects. All are being held at J. Reuben Detention Center awaiting bond.

The investigation is ongoing, Bonner said.

Spirakis was arrested and charged in 2008 for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl for three years. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2010, but that sentence was suspended to two years in prison and five years on probation, according to court records.

Spirakis is the owner of Phil’s Lock & Key on U.S. 17 Business.

Honeycutt was jailed four separate times in 2015 for possession of marijuana, filing a false police report and violating probation, according to jail records.

Heavener was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in N.C. in 2014, according to court records.

Authorities say putting a homemade New York state license plate on a car has landed a western New York woman in jail.

The Erie County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy pulled over a car Wednesday after noticing it didn’t have a front license plate.

Police say the vehicle’s rear plate was actually a piece of cardboard painted to resemble the yellow and blue version of the New York license plate. The bogus plate had three letters and four numbers, with the words “New York” written on top and “Empire State” on the bottom.

On any other day, 13-year-old Dania Hernandez is a typical middle school teen who enjoys beauty and makeup, and loves to joke around.

“She’s a girly girl at heart,” her sister Corina Hernandez said Wednesday. “She has so much going for her.”

Since Monday evening, though, Dania has been a missing person who was last seen with an 18-year-old man from Kentucky who traveled to New Jersey to meet the teen.

And since then, Corina Hernandez, with family and friends, have been pulling near all-nighters searching for Dania.

http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html

At any time, about seven to 10 friends and family are searching for Dania by car, on foot and even using bikes. They’re searching train stations, parks, wherever they suspect a missing teen might go on the run, Corina Hernandez said.

“We’re just trying to think like them,” Corina Hernandez said Wednesday by phone, while at a River Line train station in the area.

Hamilton police have been searching the area for Dania since she never went home Monday afternoon. On Wednesday they had nothing significant to report.

Members of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office and New Jersey State Police are assisting Hamilton police.

Hamilton police late Tuesday identified 18-year-old Lance Jyrkinen as the male last seen with Dania after school on Monday. He is from Owensboro, Ky. and traveled to Hamilton to meet Dania.

The two likely met online through social media, police have said.

Hamilton police Capt. James Stevens said Wednesday that detectives are unsure of the exact reason Jyrkinen came to New Jersey, and what, if any, transpired between the two on social media.

“It’s very alarming,” Stevens said. “Her family, they are very concerned about her well being, and we are too.”

Stevens said from what detectives have gathered so far, it does not appear Dania is with Jyrkinen unwillingly.

“But that’s a question that will be answered when we do locate her,” Stevens said.

Corina Hernandez and others have been posting regular updates on Facebook, pleading with people to be on the lookout for her Dania – and Jyrkinen. The posts are using the hashtag ‪#‎bringdaniahome‬.

Corina Hernandez added that Jyrkinen might have blond hair now.

Dania is Hispanic and has brown eyes, black hair and a light complexion. She stands 5-feet, 1-inch and weighs 130 pounds.

Jyrkinen is 6-feet 1-inches tall and about 185 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Geoff Nielsen at 609-689-5827 or the Hamilton police dispatch, 24 hours a day, at 609-581-4000.
