Big U.S. Manhunt For Kidnappers
W.Z.P.A.-ReuJer—Copyright) BEVERLEY HILLS, (California), April 7.
America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation launched one of its largest manhunts today to capture the kidnappers of an 11-year-old boy whose father paid a quarter of a million dollars in ransom.
More than 300 F. 8.1. agents hunting the kidnappers are convinced that someone close to the family was involved. The boy, Kenneth Young, was taken from his bed early on Monday and released unharmed yesterday after his
father, Mr Herbert Young, paid 250,000 dollars’ ransom. The boy was left bound, drugged, blindfolded and with his head shaven, in a garaged car in nearby Santa Monica.
The F. 8.1. said today: “The kidnappers would have to know the family and its means to pay this type of money.”
Mr Young, 35, is the president of the Gibraltar Savings and Loan Association which has assets totalling 423,500,000 dollars.
