A West Virginia couple will remain behind bars as they await trial for allegedly using their adopted black children as “slaves,” according to a judge.

Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, are being held on a combined $1 million on human trafficking and other charges after a judge last week increased their bond.
