Stepfather arrested for sex crimes 10 years after 19-year-old goes missing
James Branton was the last person to see 19-year-old Katelin Akens alive in 2015.www.wusa9.com
James Branton, 46, is now facing two counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of taking indecent liberties with child in a custodial relationship, two counts of indecent exposure of a child and two counts of child cruelty. The offense dates start in June 2006, according to police.
Branton was the last person to see Akens before she went missing on Dec. 5, 2015. She was supposed to fly out that day to visit her fiancé in Arizona, and Akens' mother, Lisa Sullivan, dropped her off at Branton's home so he could drive her to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, she told WUSA in 2021.
Akens never got on the plane.
Two days after Akens disappeared, her luggage was found in a ditch by a Virginia Department of Transportation employee. Her wallet and ID were inside the blue rectangular suitcase with a broken wheel.
This is clear as mud.

7 of the 8 dead children were his.
I haven't really seen this confirmed, but lots of people saying one of the women in the hospital is his wife. Several people have said he got caught cheating on her. Take that as rumor but it would explain his annihilate behavior.Incredibly sad. Why would this guy kill all of his own kids?
