Missing Persons Expert Arrested in Arkansas
June Ramsay Littlefield, a self-proclaimed missing persons expert who fled Santa Clarita to avoid forgery and theft charges, has been arrested in Arkansas, police said Tuesday.
Littlefield was arrested Friday in Greers Ferry, about 80 miles north of Little Rock, as she and her husband, Chuck, checked their mail at a post office box inside a country store. Littlefield was scheduled to appear in court today to tell authorities whether she will return to California voluntarily.
Littlefield disappeared sometime before May 29, when she failed to appear for the start of her trial in San Fernando Superior Court. She is charged with 17 counts of forgery and grand theft, accused of taking an estimated $6,300 in altered checks from her former employer, a Santa Clarita painting contractor. The 54-year-old secretary and bookkeeper claimed to have founded an organization called Missing Persons International Inc.
