Jeremy London's Wife Melissa: He Was Scared For His Life, Son's Life

The Jeremy London kidnapping story keeps getting weirder. In a new interview with Radaronline.com, his wife Melissa says he is scared for his life.

"This is real. Jeremy's still in shock. He was very scared," Melissa said. "People don't understand that police only have one of the guys in custody. There are still two suspects out there. We're very scared."

The story Melissa and Jeremy told police is that they had gone out to eat at the Jack-in-the-Box and come out to find a flat tire. Two men helped them change it, and Jeremy offered to give them a ride home. For some reason Melissa felt uncomfortable in the car, and the men allowed Jeremy to drop her at home before taking him on a ride of terror, forcing him to do drugs at gun point.

Jeremy claims that the kidnappers told him, "Hit this! Hit this or I'm gonna kill you!" while holding a gun to his head and forcing him to smoke some sort of drug.

Melissa addressed the doubters, citing a new wave of crime.

"I just hope this never happens to them," she told. "Police told us this is the new thing to do down here... rob people at gunpoint and make them do drugs so they won't be reliable witnesses. It's happening more and more. I can tell you that Jeremy was scared for his life. He's still scared."

Jeremy and Melissa have a 3-year-old son, Lyrik. They are in the process of divorcing and Jeremy must undergo regular drug testing because of a custody issue, so his story of doing drugs under duress is even more suspect. Both parents have lost custody because of drug use and Melissa's mother has been raising Lyrik.

Jeremy has also claimed that the kidnappers threatened to go after his son.

"I'm so scared to press charges," he wrote on his Facebook page last week. "They kept saying they knew where my son lived and they's (sic) strait (sic) for him first."

This is about the lamest excuse for going on a drug binge I ever heard.

"....and then, they brought out this really ugly fat chick and said 'bang her, stick it THERE! So I did it, repeatedly, and it was awful. Even when the told me that I didn't need to do it anymore, and that they had proved their point to me, I still didn't believe them, and kept banging her just to be safe. I'm very scared"

This whole kidnapped-and-being-forced-to-do-dope story is taken directly from a Six Feet Under episode.

If you read the "kidnapper's" story. Its much more plausible than this story of two big time addicts trying to cover for each other.

Link please? I'm amazed to hear the new wrinkle, that they dropped off the missus before taking him out to score. Sorry, kidnapping him and making him do drugs.

The story from him sounded totally unbelievable out of the gate, and it's only getting worse. I'd like to hear from this poor guy they're hanging out to dry over it.

Look at that botched face work. Her nose is whittled down smaller than Michael Jackson's was.

the revelation that she had/has drug problems reduces her credibilty speaking on his behalf and his :/

So "Police told us this is the new thing to do down here." Has anyone else ever tried to use this type of story in court?

This is a red flag. I understand fear, but some one with common sense should recognize that this was more of a crime of opportunity. There is nothing organized about this scenario up until London refuses to press charges. Then all of a sudden we're dealing with master criminals capable of kidnapping a child whom the authorities have been warned to protect.

Something about this is wrong.

The kidnappers were certainly chivalrous...allowing her to be dropped off at home first. Even if this were true, I don't think I'd want the story released to the press. I'd rather quietly write a screenplay (comedy).

Thanks for that Melissa! We now believe Jeremy's story. I have no idea why the two of you would divorce - you're a perfect match!
