Dallas, TX – Last Friday morning, Joland Newberg left Fayetteville, Arkansas with her twelve year old son. They were flying from Fayetteville to San Jose, California, with a layover at DFW – Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. But once the pair arrived in Dallas, Newberg’s son went to the restroom – and came out to find his mother was gone.
And Joland Newberg, also known as Jolanda Newberg or Jolanda Munoz, stayed gone for nearly 24 hours. Newberg’s luggage arrived in San Jose on schedule Friday, but Newberg didn’t.  Investigators reviewed videotape and contacted family members. Press releases were issued, and news coverage of the missing woman at DFW started within hours.
But pretty quickly it appeared to airport officials that Joland Newberg had left the airport on her own. By Friday afternoon, DFW was telling the press that Newberg, who lives in South Lake Tahoe, California, appeared to be in a “questionable emotional state” and may have left the airport’s Rental Car Center in a taxi. Um, what? Sounds to me like she got pissed off at her kid and just left him there, in a large airport all alone.
The boy was placed in Child Protective Services custody pending notification of his other relatives. By Saturday morning, he had been scheduled to fly home to California to meet other family. Which turned out to be a good thing, because Joland Newberg turned up in the Rental Car Center Saturday morning. She had no explanation of where she’d been or why she left her son.  Newberg was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for a psych evaluation, but was then arrested and taken to the Dallas County Jail.
Joland Newberg remains in the Dallas County Jail today on $2500 bond. She has been charged with endangerment by abandoning a child without the intent to return.  If this hateful bitch doesn’t want her kid, I’ll take him. Poor kid must have been scared to death.
