Elderly New Orleans Woman Denies Kidnaping Charge
In New Orleans 83 year old Edna Halbedel denied being imprisoned by two men in her French Quarter home for two years. The grand jury considered aggravated kidnapping charges against John Villarrubia and Noel Dube as they claimed 14 witnesses would prove she was a gadabout. The men said they cared for her and that none heard her complain of captivity.
