Problem:Neighbor Rhasheda Hamilton was "shocked" to learn people had been held in the basement. 
  
 THE SOUND OF a dog yapping on Saturday morning led landlord Turgut Gozleveli down into the lower basement of the Northeast Philadelphia apartment building he owned, down to an abandoned boiler room that was bizarrely locked shut with a chain wrapped around the door handle. 
  
 Gozleveli, 71, unwrapped the chain and opened the door, smelling urine and the earthiness of the dirt floor mixed into something he could only describe as a "horrible smell, like unexpected, like undesirable smell - the urine smell." 
  
 In the dark, with the light from his flashlight, he saw two little dogs, like Chihuahuas, blankets, pillows and makeshift mattresses. He pulled one blanket up and was stunned to see two faces - a man's and a woman's. 
  
 "I said, 'What the hell you guys doing there?' " Gozleveli, originally from Turkey, recalled yesterday in a heavily accented voice during a phone interview. "There was no answer. Then I closed the door and called police." 
  
 Gozleveli, who doesn't live in the tan stucco apartment building on Longshore Avenue near Vandike Street in Tacony, called 9-1-1 about 10:30 a.m. Saturday. He said that at first he thought the people were in the basement sheltering from the cold and the rain, but that he didn't know how they got there. 
  
 After police arrived, he led them back down to the sub-basement, where police found four people being held captive - one chained by his ankle to the old, metal boiler. 
  
 All four victims - a woman, 29, and three men, 31, 35 and 41 - were discovered to have mental disabilities, said police spokesman Lt. Ray Evers. The oldest man was the one shackled. 
  
 "They had bedsores, were very, very thin," he said. "Physically, they did not look in good condition. They were definitely malnourished." 
  
 "The responding officers knew right away" that they were "dealing with special-needs people," Evers said, adding that the captives were locked in what looked like "a dungeon" with a bucket of urine and feces inside. 
  
 Gozleveli said it was after police came that he found another dog - a large, quiet one that didn't bark - in the upper basement, above where the captives and two small dogs were found. That room was dark, the lightbulbs missing from the ceiling. 
  
 The victims were taken to Aria Health Frankford, where they were treated and then released Saturday night into a city mental-health facility, said Evers. 
  
 Police yesterday charged three suspects in connection with an apparent kidnapping and possible human-trafficking case in a suspected scheme to cash in on the victims' Social Security disability checks. 
  
 Linda Ann Weston, 51, and her boyfriend, Gregory Thomas, 47, were arrested Saturday night at a rowhouse on 29th Street near Huntingdon in North Philly. Eddie Wright, 50, was arrested in the Longshore Avenue apartment building, said Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman. 
  
 Weston, the alleged mastermind of the scheme, was previously convicted of third-degree murder for holding captive 25-year-old Bernardo Ramos, who was the father of her sister's unborn baby. Weston and her sister held Ramos captive in a closet in an apartment they lived at on 33rd Street near Berks in Strawberry Mansion for two months until he died of starvation in 1981. Police later found Ramos' body in an abandoned Spring Garden house. 
  
 Police yesterday said Wright was previously from Texas. They said the four victims found Saturday had lived in Texas for some time, then in Florida's West Palm Beach area for about a year and a half before being brought to Philadelphia the week of Oct. 3. 
  
 "It's not yet clear whether" the victims were imprisoned in Texas and Florida as well, Little said. But the three suspects and four victims "all drove from Florida together" to Philadelphia, she said. The FBI is also investigating. 
  
 Weston, Thomas and Wright were charged with conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment. 
  
 A daughter of Weston's lives in a second-floor apartment of the Longshore Avenue building where the victims were found. Little said the woman is not believed to have known what was going on. 
  
 Other residents in the apartment building and neighbors also said they didn't know there was a grisly prison on their block. 
  
 Block captain Danyell "Nicky" Tisdale, 41, standing outside the building yesterday as a CNN news vehicle was parked nearby, said that one late night about two weeks ago, she saw an SUV pull up. Weston and Thomas got out of the front and three men, who appeared mentally disabled, climbed out from the back, she said. 
  
 Then, two Sundays ago, Tisdale, who lives a few doors down, said she saw the three disabled men being ordered by Weston as they separated clothes on the sidewalk in an effort to sell them as part of a "flea market." 
  
 Rhasheda Hamilton, 34, who lives in the building, said she didn't hear anything from her second-floor apartment. 
  
 "The crazy thing was it was rumored that people were living in the basement, just sleeping," she said. 
  
 Ana White, 24, who lives in a first-floor apartment in the building and works with mentally challenged people, said she didn't even know there was a sub-basement and had just heard that new people moved in recently. 
  
 A neighbor who lives a few doors down and identified himself as Ed said he came home two Sundays ago from fishing. He caught about 20 bluefish, about two feet in length, from the Atlantic off Brielle, Monmouth County. Since he had so many, he gave some away to neighbors. ||||| Three people - including a woman who served eight years in prison for starving to death a man held in the closet of her North Philadelphia apartment in 1981 - were charged Sunday with holding four mentally challenged adults chained in the cellar of a Tacony apartment house for weeks in an alleged scheme to steal their Social Security checks. 
  
 The alleged ringleader, Linda Ann Weston, 51, served eight years in the starvation death of Bernardo Ramos, 25, after he refused to support her sister's unborn child. 
  
 Also arrested was Weston's boyfriend, Thomas Gregory, 47, of North Philadelphia, and Eddie Wright, 49, a homeless man who neighbors said called himself a reverend. 
  
 All three were charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and related charges. But investigators said Sunday they expected more charges to be filed in a criminal scheme that stretched back at least a year and reached to Florida and Texas. 
  
 All three were awaiting a bail hearing Sunday night. 
  
 The alleged victims - three men and a woman ranging in age from 29 to 41 - were treated for malnutrition and put in the care of mental-health officials. Police said they were being interviewed with the help of mental-health experts. 
  
 "What went on was pure evil," said Lt. Ray Evers, a Philadelphia police spokesman. 
  
 Police said they were alerted to the basement by Turgut Gozleveli, landlord of the apartment house at 4724 Longshore Ave. 
  
 On Sunday, Gozleveli said he had checked the basement three times last week after a neighbor complained of suspicious people coming and going. 
  
 He said that on Thursday, he noticed some furniture in the dank cellar had been moved. On Friday, he found a dog dish. On Saturday, the ceiling lights wouldn't turn on because the bulbs were missing. 
  
 He followed the sound of a barking dog down three steps to an old coal room, where he unwrapped a rusted chain from around the door handle and shined his flashlight into the tiny dirt-floor space. 
  
 "There were two little dogs and blankets," Gozleveli said. "And from the blankets, people's faces just started coming up." 
  
 The malnourished adults - lying in their own filth in the 10-by-15-foot room - could not answer him, Gozleveli said. One man's left ankle was chained to a boiler pipe, he said. There were bathroom buckets, but no food except a container of orange juice. 
  
 The four, all severely mentally challenged, Gozleveli said, looked like "they did not know what world they were living [in]." 
  
 "It was terrible," he said. "Something I never expected to see in my life." 
  
 Police said that since arriving in Philadelphia about Oct. 3, the four had been chained in the cellar and fed once a day by Wright. 
  
 One of the men, believed to be from Texas, may have been held against his will for more than a year, police said. 
  
 Weston, who investigators said also had a home in Palm Beach, Fla., and her two alleged accomplices drove north to Philadelphia, possibly fleeing authorities in Florida, police said. 
  
 "This may just be the top layer of what they were doing," Evers said. 
  
 Police are working with the FBI to track the path of the three suspects and their alleged victims. 
  
 Neighbors said the group arrived in an SUV in which the four alleged captives were held in the back. 
  
 Weston's daughter and son live in the apartment house. Police said they were cooperating with the investigation and had not been charged. 
  
 Gozleveli said Weston's daughter has lived in the building, a converted movie house, with her young children for two years. He said she told him she was an Army nurse from Texas. He said the woman's brother lived in the apartment next door. 
  
 One neighbor, Danyell "Nicky" Tisdale, said Weston occasionally took the four out to the SUV and would make them ride in the back. 
  
 She said that last week, Weston held a flea market, selling clothes on the sidewalk on Sunday with the help of the four, whom she bossed around. |||||
Solution:
Three people have been charged with kidnapping and other offenses after four mentally challenged adults were found chained and starving in the sub-basement of a Philadelphia apartment building. The building's landlord discovered the prisoners on Saturday, lying in their own filth in a 10-by-15-foot room, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. All were malnourished and looked like "they did not know what world they were living [in]," he says. "It was terrible. Something I never expected to see in my life." The alleged kidnappers arrived in the apartment around Oct. 3, but police said they’ve had the victims for much longer—they reportedly lived in Texas then spent 18 months in West Palm Beach before being driven to Philly; it's unclear if they were imprisoned during that entire time, reports the Inquirer. Their scheme appears to have been to collect the captives’ Social Security checks. The gang’s alleged ringleader, Linda Ann Weston, 51, previously served eight years in prison for starving a man to death in her closet. Her daughter and son live in the building where the three men and woman, ages 29 to 41, were found.
