Episode 183: Keith Tolhurst – Arizona Extortion, Kidnapping and Maiming Plot - a podcast by Jerri Williams

Retired agent Keith Tolhurst reviews an extortion case where the subjects threatened to kidnap and cut off the arm or leg of the 12-year-old son of an Arizona millionaire businessman unless he paid them $250,000. Through a series of phone calls and notes, the scheme provided directions to the victim on where to drop the money. Frank Alber was arrested, convicted of conspiracy and mailing threatening communications, and sentenced to 6 years in prison for the elaborate plot.
