FBI hunts kidnapers in Florida Gulf Coast case
Faith Sunday and Ruth Eisemann Schier are linked to a kidnapping on Florida’s lower Gulf Coast. The FBI says a suitcase held about 18000 in twenty dollar bills and another 480000 in twenties was found in a hull. Krist, exhausted, was hospitalized in Fort Myers after the ransom was paid in wrinkled twenties. The FBI issued a warrant for Eisemann Schier, 26, and declined to confirm further suspects. A car tied to Krist was traced to West Palm Beach, and a boat dealer described a 2300 dollar vessel paid with 20s. The boat routed through the canals toward the West Coast as investigators closed in aided by aircraft.
