MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Michael
Landreneaux, father of a 4-year-old
leukemia victim kidnapped from St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital
last month, surrendered to police
but did not reveal his son’s wherea
bouts.
Landreneaux, 28, was charged
Monday by the Shelby County Sher
iffs Department with kidnapping a
child under 6.
The Marshall resident and his for
mer wife, Debra Landreneaux, of
Smithville, Okla., were sought by au
thorities since Brett Landreneaux
was taken from the hospital in the
early morning hours of Oct. 12.
Doctors said the child had a staph
infection that would be fatal if it
were not treated within 48 hours.
An attorney who accompanied
Landreneaux to the Criminal Justice
Center Monday night said the boy
had received medical treatment out
side Shelby County.
Attorney Robert Friedman said
Landreneaux wanted to “turn him
self in, face the charges against him,
and clear his name.”
“We feel Mr. Landreneaux has a
legal defense to any charge that may
be filed against him,” Friedman said.
Another attorney. Will Heaton,
said Landreneaux’s wife would sur
render “when the time is appropri
ate.”
“I can only say they were seeking
the best medical attention for the
child, and Mr. Landreneaux was and
is primarily concerned with the
child’s best interests,” Heaton said.
Hospital officials said the boy was
admitted to St. Jude Oct. 9 on refer
ral from a Texas doctor. The par
ents objected to the boy’s treatment
on religous grounds, but no specifics
have been released about their be
liefs.
Juvenile Court in Memphis was
given legal custody of the boy in the
wake of the kidnapping.
