Paul Woodley reports from New York following the death of Exxon oil company executive, Sidney Reso, after he was kidnapped on 29/04/92. Reso was snatched from the driveway of his house in New Jersey as he was going to work. Just over a week ago two people, Irene Seale and her husband Arthur Seale, were arrested and charged with kidnapping, but there was no sign of Reso. Now there are reports that one of the alleged kidnappers has led detectives to a site where a body has been recovered. Includes interview with Sister Ruth Angelette, family friend; press statement by wife, Patricia Reso. Arthur Seale was later convicted and sentenced to 95 years in prison and fined 1.75 million dollars. Irene Seale received a 20-year sentence.
