A woman who police said attacked a 90-year-old Baltimore man she was supposed to be taking care of will return to the city to face charges after fleeing the country years ago.
In August of 2007, Anastacia Olouch, a Kenyan national, was indicted on multiple charges of assault, abuse of a vulnerable adult and reckless endangerment in the beating of Jaki Taylor's 90-year-old father, John, as he lay helpless in a bed in his home.
Jaki Taylor said she was angered that Olouch was able to elude authorities and leave the country without facing trial for her alleged crimes.
Police arrested the 59-year-old after seeing video from the security cameras Jaki Taylor installed in their home. In the video, the caretaker was in the process of changing the elderly man's diaper when she started hitting him. The victim was naked and couldn't defend himself or communicate.
"This woman came into our country, beat on my dad, and the system said it was OK to do that," Taylor said in 2007.
Police said right before Olouch was supposed to stand trial on Aug. 8, 2007, she ran.
Detectives from Baltimore's warrant task force began searching for her, but she was able to get on a plane and fly back to Kenya. For the past five years, the FBI and Baltimore police have been working to bring her back. She is expected back in Baltimore sometime Thursday.

Why bother? If she's an illegal, just ship her back - and keep her out!
