UPDATE:: Dennis Dunn found guilty of kidnapping neighbor, holding her in shedJennifer Elliot was speechless, shaking and seizing by the time Blanchester police Officer Mark Keller found her on April 26, 2017. She was curled on her side with her knees raised to her chest, whimpering wordlessly, at the bottom of a three-foot pit in her neighbor’s shed.
The Blanchester man who claimed he hid his neighbor in a pit in his shed to protect her from a Satanic sex cult was found guilty of kidnapping and two counts of abduction Tuesday.
Clinton County Judge Tim Rudduck, who heard the bench trial, found Dennis Dunn not guilty on two counts that he abducted his neighbor, Jennifer Elliot, for sex.
Rudduck set sentencing for April 19. Dunn could get three to 10 years after both sides agreed to combine sentencing under the kidnapping count.
The pit had been concealed by boards so heavy Keller tore a muscle in his abdomen lifting them, he said in court Monday. Speaking in a bench trial before Judge Tim Rudduck, Keller described her as seeming to have little awareness of her situation — just enough to scream and fight the paramedics who tried to put her on a stretcher.
Her repeated plea, according to Keller: Don’t let him put me back in that hole.
The him in question, neighbor Dennis Dunn, claimed Monday he had not kidnapped Elliot or held her prisoner. Instead, he said, she had convinced him to bury her in order to hide her from an abusive, Satanic sex cult of which she was a member.
