#374 - The Man In The Box - Kankakee, Illinois

This week, in Kankakee, Illinois, a phone call from the police, telling a man that there's been a burglary at one of his properties send him out of the house in the middle of the night. The next call that comes to the house will be a ransom call, demanding $1 million for the man's safe return. These kidnappers also tell the family that the kidnapped man is being kept in a box, buried in the ground, with 48 hours of oxygen. Either come up with the money... or he dies! A real white knuckle kind of episode!

Along the way, we find out that at least some members of The Sugar Hill Gang are still alive, that you probably don't want to kidnap a personal friend of the governor, and that it's hard to estimate how much oxygen a PVC pipe can deliver to an underground box!!
