CULLEN CUSTODY SHOWDOWN COMING
Tanya Cullen, supermodel and ex-wife of renowned architect Edward Cullen, was arrested last evening on felony kidnapping charges at LAX after taking her youngest daughter, Laurie, from her school in Seattle, WA.
LA Police were informed of the kidnapping by Seattle Police Officer Riley after he issued an Amber Alert for Laurie Cullen. Officer Riley issued the following statement:
"I received a call
from Bella Cullen (Edward's current wife) asking for help with the
kidnapping of her daughter. The alert was issued immediately and
after discovering Tanya's travel plans LA police were contacted and
waiting at LAX to take
Tanya Cullen into custody."
Mrs. Ima Busybody, who was at SEA-TAC airport in Seattle said "I saw her pulling that little girl into the bathroom and she looked really mad. Then I heard screams coming from the bathroom and I ran to get security but they were gone when we got back."
Mrs. Busybody also said she later saw Seattle police running through the airport only to have them walk back pass her 15- 20 minutes later talking about how "she (Tanya) would be picked up in LA."
Passengers on the plane stated that Tanya was agitated and kept yelling at Laurie to stop crying or she would "get it worse." One passenger, refusing to give her name because "that bitch is crazy and I am traveling with my kids", did say that when police boarded the plane "that woman left that little girl and was running up and down the aisles, jumping over seats and fighting the cops. They finally tasered her to catch her and shut her up."
Ms. Cullen was then carried through LAX and is currently a guest of the La County Jail. Laurie Cullen was taken into CPS custody and is currently awaiting the arrival of Bella and Carlisle Cullen (her stepmother and grandfather) at the CPS offices along with
J. Jenks, the Cullen's family lawyer. An emergency hearing has been scheduled to request that temporary custody of Laurie and Liz Cullen be given to Bella.
Sources close to the Cullen Camp say the kidnapping is just the latest of "stunts" concerning the ex Mrs. Cullen. There are rumors of child molestation by Tanya's fiancée, alcohol poisoning, filing false child abuse claims and restraining orders. The only thing the Cullen family would confirm through their lawyer, J. Jenks, is that they are petitioning the courts for the termination of Tanya's rights to the children.
Edward Cullen couldn't be reached for comment, he is currently in the ICU at a Billings, MT hospital after a near fatal car accident. He and his daughter Liz were hit by a drunk driver.
