Mother Aids Buck Defense After Kidnapping Trial
In Barnstable Massachusetts on June 23, the mother of Kenneth Buck testified in his and his brother Cyt Buck's kidnapping case involving ten year old Margaret Peggy McMath from Harwich Center. Bertha Buck described her son as unable to find work and a good boy while Kenneth claimed an unnamed boss directed the crime. The jury heard Kenneth recount the abduction staged for a $60,000 ransom, with the money found at his home. He testified about a supposed liquor deal mastermind and a contact named Bill who insisted the act was not a true kidnapping because the father knew of the plan. Kenneth endured over four hours on the stand, facing strict cross examination from District Attorney William Crossley.
