Greetings, fellow crime buffs! This week's article is pulled right from the headlines, as one of the kidnappers in this case is getting out of prison soon.

In other news, National Geographic's "Taboo" features a collector of "murderabilia" tomorrow night. I plan to watch and will review the show on my site. Check it out if you get a chance, and stop by the forum to debate this issue. :)

Here's the latest article from the Crime site at BellaOnline.com.

The Chowchilla Kidnapping
The small city of Chowchilla, California was thrust into the national spotlight on July 15, 1976, when kidnappers seized 26 schoolchildren and their driver from a school bus and held them for ransom. Read about the abduction and aftermath.
