WHEN THINGS AREN’T WHAT THEY SEEM
The Strange Case of Delimar Vera

Delimar Vera, the six-year-old Philadelphian who last week gained the world’s attention when she was returned to her natural mother, may be quite a kid, but the adults in her life, every single one of them apparently, are certainly a strange bunch.

Credit the Philadelphia Daily News for trying to sift through the mess surrounding Delimar’s disappearance and seemingly sudden return home, a story that failed the smell test here from the beginning.

Read “Odd Twists Mark Delimar’s Tale,” by Barbara Laker, Nicole Weisensee Egan, and Regina Medina, but do so with pen and paper in hand. You’ll need them to sort out the convoluted stories and intertwining relationships among this very odd collection of characters.
