Nicholas and Barbara Davis - 41-year-old twins - and their godson Jonathan Stevens, 21, befriended Ms Cheiker after knocking on her door at random one day, prosecutors said.

According to neighbors, they looked after her by taking her to doctor's appointments and the store - and even let her move in after fire damaged her house.

After Ms Cheiker vanished in 2008, a living trust in her name sold the rebuilt house for $712,000, according to property records. Authorities said Ms Cheiker was taken from LA by the trio, who then dragged her on a financially ruinous jaunt across the nation, before leaving her in the shack.

The three were charged with endangering the welfare of a dependent person - but pleaded no contest in court so were never found guilty. They are now on probation.

Investigators believe the trio assumed Ms Cheiker would die in the cabin - and that they would never be caught.
