Return of Society Leader After Abduction in Indiana
Federal agents identify Thomas H. Robinson as the suspected kidnapper who abducted Mrs. Stoll from Indianapolis, held her six days, and demanded a $50,000 ransom paid by her husband Berry V. Stoll. The release followed a chain of ransom deliveries via Robinson’s wife and father in Nashville and Terre Haute, with investigators tracking the suspect across Louisville and Indianapolis. Mrs. Stoll, though brutally treated at times, is reported in fair condition, while Robinson’s elder father is questioned in Nashville.
