Lebanon: Angela Romans

Angela Romans: The now-52-year-old former baker separated from his then-wife, Angela Romans, in 1991. Two years later, he kidnapped his three daughters seven, six and two years old at the time and took them to Lebanon, breaking family court orders in the process, according to Blackburn News, according to Huffington Post. He returned to Canada in 1997, leaving behind not only his three daughters, but a second wife and twin sons and Benham Slim has been given a prison sentence for abducting his three daughters from St. Thomas, Ontario 20 years ago, reports the London Free Press. Slim, who has American and Lebanese citizenship, was charged in absentia with three counts of abduction, but since Canada and Lebanon have no extradition treaty, there was little hope of getting him back to stand trial.
