Motive For Children's Kidnap Raffles Police

Three men who orchestrated the bus kidnapping of 26 children and their driver remained largely silent as authorities issued an all points bulletin for a “Jerry McCune.” Victims recall a kidnapper addressing another as Jerry, while the group endured a 36 hour underground ordeal in a windowless moving van. The kids and Edward Ray, the driver, described fear and suffocation as they escaped. Investigators sought fingerprints and earlier reports described two vans and three suspects, while descriptions conflicted and the FBI pulled back from the case. Governor Brown offered a $10,000 reward as the case drew statewide attention.
