FBI No Longer Invincible in Kidnapping Probe
Norman Brody paid $200000 to a Maryland suburb drop point for his son William’s ransom. The FBI placed a homing device in the cash, but the kidnap gang slipped the dragnet, took the package, and escaped with the money. The device was triggered by a disgruntled agent, yet the boy was released unharmed four hours later. The piece argues the FBI’s morale and methods have declined under criticism of its focus on outdated targets and gossip in files, urging reform under L. Patrick Gray.
