MOUNT CARMEL â A 39-year old Riverside woman who was extradited back to Northumberland County from Illinois will appear at trial after waiving her preliminary hearing on felony charges which included endangering the welfare of children and intentional interference with custody of a child.
Sawsan Hadidi, 39, fled Riverside with her two children in violation of court instructions on June 12, according to police and was captured after a vigorous effort by District Attorney Tony Matulewicz, the Riverside Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police and the U.S. Marshal Service in September.
Hadidi appeared on billboards along the east coast over the summer after an Amber Alert was issued, according to Matulewicz.
