Kidnaper Talked Into Freeing Youngsters
Rhode Island police say Frank Galleshaw Jr. and Tammy Galleshaw were abducted on the way to school and held in a bunker for nearly 10 hours before persuading a kidnapper to release them. Two suspects were arrested with one more unnamed. The ransom was rumored but not paid. The children were unharmed and freed around 6 p.m. after convincing their captor to unlock handcuffs. The case also involved a neighbor abducted briefly but released. Separately, the National PTA named Sen. Ernest Hollings to receive its president's award for education service.
