FBI Kept A Low Profile In Bronfman Kidnapping
More than 500 FBI agents worked quietly on the Bronfman kidnapping as the ransom of 2.3 million was paid by Edgar Bronfman Sr. The elder Bronfman delivered the money in two paper bags near LaGuardia. Investigators traced a car license to suspect Mel Patrick Lynch and staked out a Flatbush Brooklyn building awaiting a promised release. Police detectives questioned Dominick Byrne about the case as agents closed in on Lynch at his apartment.
