104: KIDNAP MURDER
Kidnap murder
pertains to a person abducted for ransom and killed whether the ransom is paid
or not. It is important to know what designates a kidnap- ping as opposed to a
hostage/barricade situation. A kidnapping involves the seizing and detainment
or removal of a person by unlawful force or fraud, often with a demand of
ransom. The victim has been taken against his or her will by a possibly unknown
subject and is detained at a location unknown to the authorities. Negotiations
involving a kidnap situation may include the victim’s family, government
officials, business leaders, law enforcement authorities, and the offender.
