<h1>1984</h1>
<p>On March 18th of 1930, well known local drugstore owner Michael Katz was kidnapped and held at ransom. At around 9:30 a.m. on the 18th of March, 1930, Katz turned his car onto Ward Parkway to travel north for work. Eventually, two men in a Chrysler roadster would force his car to the side of the road. One of the men in the Chrysler got out, climbed onto the side of Katz’s car, and struck him, knocking him to the floor and taking over the car. Nearly two hours later, Bennie Portman, Katz’ acquaintance, received a telephone call instructing him to go to a political party office near 12th and Central streets. Portman obeyed. As he pulled up to the office, a man handed him an envelope addressed to Louis Rose, an owner of the Sexton Hotel only blocks away. The letter appointed Portman to a room in the Sexton hotel, the location in which the trade off would happen. Isaac Katz, Michael’s brother was alerted about this and arrived at the hotel on March 19th in a fourth-floor room at the Sexton Hotel. Eventually, they would receive a phone call alerting them that the ransom demand was not negotiable. Isaac Katz ordered the $100k in $100 and $500 and ordered portman to deliver it to Reservoir Hill. After, they were alerted that Michael Katz was currently located at Concourse, a local park. In the end, nobody figures out who the kidnappers were, so from now on, the Katz’ would travel in bulletproof vehicles with hired drivers.

<p>In 1931, wealthy dress manufacturer Nell Donnelly and 28 year old chauffeur Goerge Blair are kidnapped and held at ransom. On December 16th, 1931, George Blair picked up Donnelly to drive her to her home at 5325 Oak St. with a destination time of 6 p.m. Just as Blair was about to pull into Donnelly’s home, there was a vehicle blocking the entrance. There was a group of men standing around the car conversating. As soon as Blair pulled up, one of the men pointed a pistol at Donnelley’s car with two of the men rushing to the car to take control Donnelly and Blair. They shoved Donnelly and Blair both into their car and drove across the state line to Kansas where they would soon be transferred into another car. After being transferred, the men continued to drive nearly 2o miles west to and 20-acre farm and creamery just outside of Bonner Springs. They were escorted into a four room house where they would be forced to sit on a bed and a cot and sleep for the night. The next morning, the kidnappers delivered a letter in Donnelly’s handwriting addressed to her husband asking for a payment of $75,000 dollars for Donnelly and Blairs’ freedom. It noted that failure to do so would result in Donnelly being blinded and Blair slain. With the right connections, Donnelly’s husband got in contact with Thomas Pendergast who soon found the kidnappers plans and where Blair and Donnelly were being held. On December 18th, just less than two days later, the police received a call with the new location of Blair and Donnelly where they were safely removed from their held location. Nobody was caught in the end.

<h1>1987</h1>
<p>On May 27th, 1933, Kansas City Manager’s daughter Mary McElroy was kidnapped from her home at 21 W. 57th St., Kansas City, Missouri. On the Saturday morning of May 27th, 1933, just before McElroy left for City Hall, two hoodlums posing as delivery men arrived at her home ringing her doorbell persuading the maid to open the door while drawing a gun on her. When they got the maid to let them in, they forced her to silently lead them to Mary. Mary was in a bath getting ready for the way. As soon as the hoodlumbs announced their presence, Mary screamed and quickly composed herself. Even with the intensity of the situation, Mary received a burst of self-confidence and told her abductors to wait while she got dressed. She put on a dress, makeup, grabbed her purse and told them she was ready to go. The original plan of the two hoodlum kidnappers, Walter McGee and Clarence Stevens was to kidnap Mary’s younger brother Henry, but they were unable to find him. The two men made her lay on the floor of the car and covered her with a quilt. They drove over the State Line to Kansas where they would eventually stop at a farm about two miles north of the middle of Shawnee. At the farm house, Mary met Walter McGee’s brother Goerge McGee and Clarence Click who owned the house. Her left wrist was shackled and chained to the basement where she was set up to write a ransom letter. She was treated really nicely while being held. In the evening, a letter arrived from the Kidnappers at Mary’s home where her husband learned that they wanted $60,000 dollars. He was alerted that the total would increase if the press reported on it or if the police were called. Later that night. Another letter was sent that told Mr. McElroy wait at his home until the morning. The next day at 8:30 a.m. the call came. At the end of the call at 10:30 a.m., he had convinced them to cut their ransom fee in half. She was let go very safely. Police tracked down all of the kidnappers. All of them were sentenced to prison or death sentences.
