Book Not Released Unharmed

Download or read book Not Released Unharmed written by Donald L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich with little-known details in the infamous Lindbergh kidnapping case, the day Machine-Gun Kelly coined the term "G-Men," and the events and trails-of-evidence in a variety of kidnappings, Not Released Unharmed- Kidnap Victims offers a fascinating look at historical highlights of American crime and investigation. Written by retired FBI Special Agent Donald L. Smith, the book is a survey of tragedy juxtaposed with rescue and relief; of pursuit and capture; of justice and injustice. In these stories, some kidnap victims survive, some do not. Some of the characters are scarred for life, others find forgiveness and redemption. But, just as Smith entitles his book, none are released unharmed. A preview of actual FBI cases covered in this book: Wood evidence (the ladder) in the Lindbergh case trial and some previously undisclosed evidence. Kidnap of a wealthy Oklahoma oil man, his captivity and release nine days later. Machine Gun Kelly captured unarmed and afraid, shouting the famous line "Don't shoot G-men! Don't shoot G-men." Kidnapping of a 9-year-old boy who was released after seven days. Years later he gave a job to one of his kidnappers because he credited him with saving his life. Also included is an account of a recent telephone interview between this victim (now over 80) and the author. A 72-year-old businessman who was kidnapped. A $50,000 ransom was paid but he was not released. About a week afterward, one of the kidnappers shot him, then turned and shot his own partner. He buried both in the same grave. A boy kidnapped from his school by a woman claiming to be his aunt. Ransom was paid, but the boy had been killed right after his abduction. The kidnappers were apprehended, tried and executed. The kicker-over half of the $600,000 was never found, though one vehemently claimed the money was in his possession when he was arrested by two police officers. The officers were tried and sent to prison. The m

Book excerpt: When Chenille Bowing was just four years old, her father, Arthur, a chief judge in Denver, Colorado, was believed to have killed his identical twin brother, Austin, in a hunting accident. From that day forward, Arthur wasn't the same man. He treated his wife and children with indifference; he became rude, arrogant, and overbearing. It would be years before the family discovered the real truth. The situation becomes more dire years later when Chenille announces that she and her longtime boyfriend, Matt Rustin, are expecting a child. Arthur despises Matt and refuses to accept the relationship. When the baby is born, Arthur executes the unbelievable. He tells Chenille her baby died at birth and whisks her off to Austria to complete her physician training. Arthur deceives Matt by faking Chenille's death and leaving Matt to raise the child alone. Nine years later, Chenille, a successful neurosurgeon in France, mourns the loss of Matt and her baby each day. But fate intervenes when Chenille meets Ernesto Pallante, who has ties with Cosa Nostra. These men use their worldwide associations to unveil the misdeeds the family has endured. They use their power to deliver their own brand of justice.

Book excerpt: Fur trapping in North America began at the turn of the sixteenth century when rugged mountain men pushed ever westward in search of beaver. These entrepreneurs possessed an unmatched sense of adventure, a relentless drive to succeed, and an uncanny ability to survive. The intimacy between man and nature discovered by these early explorers has been continued through hardy souls still lucky enough to know the thrill and excitement of a modern-day trapline. The proud heritage of America's fur-trappers lives on through trappers associations, trapper education programs, and the trappers who continue to live it. Follow the journey of a young boy in 20th century rural America who learned about wild lands and wildlife through fi rsthand experience. The people he meets along the way inspire him to write about trappers and trapping and the importance of preserving man's primitive crafts for the continuation of America's rich wildlife legacy.

Book excerpt: Only one man has the power and courage to preserve Rome from utter destruction-but to save the Empire, he must first overcome the Sword of Attila. In an epic campaign that historians have called the most crucial in history, two great warriors match strength and tactics in a colossal struggle for the fate of the known world. Ultimate authority in the fragile Western Empire rests on the shoulders of one man. Adhering to the ancient code of honor on which Rome was founded, he wages a single-minded struggle against barbarian invasions and internal decadence to prevent a catastrophic reign of terror. Respected and feared by friends and enemies alike, he is Count Flavius Aetius, Supreme General of the Legions-better known to history as the Last of the Romans. Facing him is a foe who has led his Asian hordes on a rampage of conquest and terror, from the barren steppes of the north to the very sands of Persia, ruthlessly destroying vast swaths of civilization. Now he and his army of fierce horsemen have penetrated deep into Europe and are poised to strike at the heart of the empire, the city of Rome itself. The entire world shudders at mention of this man's name-Attila the Hun. Horrified victims call him the Scourge of God. On a sweltering June day in A.D. 451, the fates of these two titans of antiquity collide in a conflict of such massive carnage and heroism as to dwarf nearly every other single battle in history. Though little known today, this monumental contest on a remote plain in Gaul determined the fate of Europe-and the very course of civilization. In The Sword of Attila, Michael Curtis Ford once again demonstrates his mastery as a chronicler of battle, honor, and ancient worlds.
