Uganda: Torres AES Security Saves US Missionary From Theft, Attack, Kidnapping

A female American missionary had gone to Uganda with the dedicated purpose of helping those in need when her experience was abruptly and dangerously interrupted by a manipulative fellow missionary “con man.”

This “con man,” posing as a missionary ostensibly dedicated to the same mission, manipulated the female missionary by giving her the false impression that he wanted to marry her for the right reasons, according to investigators familiar with the situation.

“He had convinced her to marry him. He was a missionary con man. He wanted her money,” said Randy Baham, Project Manager, Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions (Torres AES) – a global security firm protecting US and friendly foreign government personnel and NGOs in the region.

The manipulative male missionary had convinced her to put a house and a car in his name, before proceeding to take her money, restrain her and lock her up in a house.

When she finally attempted to escape to the airport, the male missionary directed a gang of his friends to chase her down and catch her.

“They beat her up, causing internal bleeding,” Baham added.
