Summary

In April of 1992, Exxon executive Sidney Reso left for work like he did every day. When his car was discovered running in his driveway, the police and FBI were called. They quickly began an investigation into Sidney's disappearance, which they learned was an abduction. After cooperating with the kidnappers and getting together the 18.5 million dollar ransom though, the kidnappers began to make sporadic contact, often days and weeks between phone calls. This lasted for 51 days before a break which led the kidnappers right to the FBI, and we ultimately found out what happened to Sidney Reso.
