The women, who were living with the singer at Trump Tower Chicago are no longer there, after the feds raided his apartment Thursday night and sealed it off.
The Savage family lawyer, Gerald Griggs, tells TMZ, he believes Joycelyn and Azriel Clary are with R. Kelly’s people at an undisclosed location in Chicago.
Griggs says the Savages are concerned the 2 women may see the handwriting on the wall for R. Kelly and have hatched a plan to kill themselves if it looks like he’s not coming back, says TMZ.
So far, Griggs says, attempts to locate the 2 women have proven futile.
TMZ claims that if the parents can’t find Joycelyn they are considering getting police involved by filing a missing person’s report.
Azriel’s parents, however, say they know where the 2 girls are … they’re in another apartment in the Trump Tower. They say R. Kelly had 2 units in the building, and the second one was in Azriel’s name and the feds did not raid it. Azriel’s parents do not believe the 2 women have a suicide pact.
Back in February, The parents of Savage, Kelly’s live-in girlfriend, claim their daughter is being held against her will, and even hired high-profile attorney, Gerald Griggs in the process of proving it.
Savage, who has been living with the singer, attended his hearing Saturday.
Her parents said Kelly has kept Savage from them for years, which has been showcased in a recent docuseries.
Griggs, an Atlanta attorney for multiple accusers against Kelly, said he and his clients pointed prosecutors toward more tape evidence and victims while they push for charges in Fulton County.
Kelly, whose legal name is Robert Kelly, turned himself into a Chicago police precinct Friday night.
Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. said he set the amount to equal $250,000 for each of the four people Kelly is charged with sexually abusing. Kelly is required to post $100,000 to be released, WSBTV reported Saturday.
In March, someone in Chicago called 911 to report a mass suicide was about to go down at R. Kelly‘s Chicago home, but it turned out to be a false alarm, TMZ is reporting.
Police descended on Trump Tower in Chicago Tuesday afternoon, after an anonymous caller claimed Azriel Clary and 4 other women who were alleged victims had a suicide pact and were planning on carrying it out.
Sources close to the embattled singer told TMZ that police officers just left after going inside R. Kelly’s unit and speaking to R. Kelly’s attorneys, who assured them everyone was fine.
Turns out the call was from the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
It appears the call was bogus, because our sources say R. Kelly had been meeting with his attorneys in his pad for at least two hours before cops showed up.
Kelly was arrested on Sunday (7/11) while walking his dog in Chicago. He was charged with federal sex crimes, according to law enforcement officials.
Kelly, 52, was arrested by NYPD detectives and Homeland Security Investigation agents on sex trafficking charges and it is expected he will be brought to New York.
Further details on the case are expected to be announced Friday, reports NBCNewYork.
Attempts to contact reps for R. Kelly were not immediately successful.
