Title: History Of The Day - Teenage Heiress Lesley Whittle Kidnapped from Bedroom (1975)
Post by: TFD on Jan 14, 2014, 09:31 AM
Dubbed the "Black Panther," Donald Neilson terrorized the UK in the 1970s. Initially a burglar, he began breaking into sub-post offices and murdering workers. He then kidnapped his youngest victim, 17-year-old heiress Lesley Whittle, for a ransom of £50,000. Police ineptitude plagued the case, and the ransom money was not delivered by the demanded deadline. Months later, Whittle's emaciated body was found hanging from a wire at the bottom of a drainage shaft. How was Neilson captured?
