Bronfman Heir Rescued in New York Kidnap Case
Samuel Bronfman II was found unharmed at a Brooklyn apartment after a ransom drop in Queens, with authorities saying two men were not being sought and Byrne and Lynch face federal extortion charges. The $2.3 million payment was recovered, half the original demand, and the raid uncovered the ransom bags and three guns.
