Kidnapping Case Echoes From Mattson Search
Officials say no one identified among hundreds in the rogue gallery as the lone kidnapper of Charles Mattson. United States District Attorney J Charles Dennis said he is ready to seek special grand jury action if the kidnapper is captured. Prosecuting Attorney Harry Johnston vows to seek the death penalty if state courts hear the case. Authorities cautioned that amateur kidnappers are likelier to harm victims, while a professional would grasp punishment. Family members maintain composure as the search stalls, with no word from the kidnaper and no confirmation of intermediary contacts.
