FBI Pushes Kidnap Hunt in Sinatra Jr Case
The FBI sent about a dozen agents to the San Fernando Valley near Hollywood in a move tied to the Sinatra Jr. kidnapping. West Valley police confirmed FBI activity but offered no specifics while residents reported agents checking homes and stopping cars. Police chief Parker and Mayor Yorty criticized limited briefing and secrecy, warning it could hinder the case and fuel danger. Sinatra Jr., 19, was abducted Sunday from a Lake Tahoe motel and released after a $240,000 ransom was arranged. He told reporters he was kept blindfolded but unharmed and cannot discuss details until questioning by the FBI concludes.
