SAN AUGUSTINE (AP) \u2014 Closing arguments are set for Tuesday in the East Texas trial of two women accused of kidnapping a Houston boy when he was 8 months old and hiding him for eight years before he was found.

The boy is now living with a Houston-area couple that’s also taking care of his siblings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
