Kidnapped Miami Boy Recalls Father's Client as Motive

A 70 year old boy found severely beaten six days after being abducted from his suburban Miami home says his captor was told by the boy’s father, real estate attorney Hugh Carrier, that he was “your daddy's client.” Coral Gables police await medical clearance before questioning. The boy suffered an infected skull fracture and possible eye damage after being found incoherent in the Big Cypress Swamp. The case links the abduction to a claim the father’s connections yielded payment to the kidnapper, though no ransom demands were reported. Meanwhile a birth at Audrain Medical Center in Centralia is noted.
