Suspects Taken In Kidnap Kill Case Near Montreal
Three prime suspects in the Pierre Laporte kidnapping and murder were arrested at a farmhouse near St Duc, 20 miles southeast of Montreal. Paul Rose, Jacques Rose, and Francis Simard were captured with a fourth unidentified man after a light in a likely empty farmhouse led police to them. A 20 foot tunnel beneath the cement floor stocked with provisions suggested they could have hidden for weeks. Laporte was abducted Oct. 10 and found slain a week later. The Quebec Liberation Front demanded ransom and political prisoners, while Prime Minister Trudeau imposed wartime measures to pursue the abductors.
