Todd was forced to drive to a remote road from Highway 75, encountered two men, and was bound with wire cut from an abandoned line. A black man later unbound him, and Sheriff Thomason relayed the kidnapping to deputies. Todd crossed paths with Elmer Bullock and T. F. Cook during the ordeal, with Cook noting a man half-reclining on the rear seat. The two men suspected of stopping Todd about 10 days earlier near Jones Crossing on old Highway 6 reportedly planned the siphoning of gasoline.
