Purvis Subpoenaed for Stoll Kidnaping Trial in Louisville
In Louisville Kentucky a subpoena was issued by Judge Elwood Hamilton at the request of defense counsels for Melvin H. Purvis former DOJ official to testify as a witness in the Stoll kidnapping trial. The case centers on the $39,000 ransom paid to free Mrs Stoll during a six day captivity in Indianapolis and surrounding areas. Police and federal agents trace the ransom route from Louisville through Nashville and Terre Haute to Indianapolis before vanishing. The government alleges Thomas H Robinson Jr was the kidnapper with connections to his father and possible involvement by his wife as intermediary. The defense seeks to probe Purvis’s knowledge of the family’s role and motives.
