Death Penalty Sought for Bobby Greenlease Kidnappers
Kansas City, Nov 16 A grim court hearing described how Bonnie Heady and Carl Hall plotted and carried out the Bobby Greenlease kidnapping and murder. The U S attorney asked the death penalty while jurors weighed guilt and potential execution for the pair. The confession detailed the staged abduction, the body disposed in a Kansas field, ransom payments, and the couple’s subsequent arrest in St Louis. Greenlease Sr testified, recalling the family’s threats and the boy’s last morning at Notre Dame high school.
