Two Decades After Kidnapping Case Cyril Buck Paroled
The 1933 kidnapping of Peggy McMath ranked with the Lindbergh case in public interest. The Harwichport suspect Kenneth McMath received 24 to 25 years hard labor, paroled after two thirds of minimum term. Peggy, daughter of Neil and Mrs McMath, was taken May 2 1933 and found six days later aboard a yacht near Cape Cod. Ransom paid reportedly $60,000. Cyril Buck testified to extortion but was acquitted on that charge.
