Optician and Marion Pilot Overpower Alleged Abductor
Lancaster county police report an optician from Greenville and a Marion Virginia pilot overpowered an alleged kidnapper during a flight from Virginia back to South Carolina. Walter H Scott, 24, of Greenville, was identified by the FBI as the abductee who had been held at a South Carolina mental hospital. The three men involved included Dan Gosnell, 60, owner of three Greenville optical shops, and pilot John Greer, 28, of Marion, Virginia. The group landed safely at Lancaster County Airport. Scott was badly beaten and later treated after escaping from the State Hospital in Columbia. FBI said Scott faces charges of kidnapping and war piracy with potential life imprisonment. Gosnell had earlier met a man posing as an electrical contractor at his Greenville office and handed over $5,000 at a bank, before they fled toward Wytheville, Virginia to board a chartered plane to Camden, South Carolina. The bank official noted the companion’s identity as an electrical contractor.
