Kidnapped

Kidnapped: The Disappearance of Christian McKinley is a captivating and horrifying kidnapping plot that twists and turns itself from the suburbs of Minneapolis to the Canadian border and beyond.

On September 6, 2003, two men walked into the Hilton Hotel in downtown Minneapolis with an elaborate plan to kidnap a young teenager and hold him hostage for a seventeen-million-dollar payoff.

The victim--Christian McKinley. The fourteen-year-old is the adopted grandson of one of Minnesota's wealthiest bankers and business tycoons.

The kidnappers--two ex-cons, both products of neglectful and abusive childhoods, who turned to a life of crime early and haven't looked back. Now they have only one thing on their drug-addled and psychologically damaged minds: scoring enough money for a luxurious retirement. But when jealousy and distrust invite themselves into the picture, plans begin to fall apart.
