Perhaps I missed this earlier, but today the NY Times ran a story about a 10/31/05 kidnapping attempt of Lindsey Ferguson -- an elite high school distance runner from Saratoga, NY. The kidnapper was caught and yesterday he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Police found a rope, tarp and shovel in his van.
