Calling All Cars: Gettle Kidnapping Case

Before we begin the dramatization of the Ghetto Kidnapping case, it is our great pleasure to present a man who played an important role in the Peace Army which swept down and captured the Ghetto Kidnapping.

Ladies and gentlemen of America, a message from Steve Scienvy-David of the Los Angeles Police Department. I have just returned from San Diego by special plans to be here tonight and to complement law enforcement heads of this county upon the fine work accomplished in apprehending the ghetto kidnappers and sending them to San Clinton for life, all within 46 hours.

Preach justice such as this will keep Southern California clean of kidnappers. As chief of police, it has been a source of great trying to me to see the marvelous cooperation between the various law enforcement agencies concerned in the capturing the criminals who kidnapped the ghetto.

and in hand the police department, the sheriff's department, and the federal forces have labored without rest until Mr. Gettle has been returned to his family and the criminals locked in jail. Against that cooperation, no criminal on earth can survive. Together they saved the biggest manhunt in the history of the southwest, and together they got fair man.

Now, may I introduce to you a man who has worked his hard to bring this case to a happy conclusion as any officer during the Fifth District Attorney of Los Angeles. Mr. Fifth, thank you, Chief David.

I can add a little to what the Chief has already said other than this. Every man working on a 24-hour shift. You all must have our clothes off or any sleep or a week from the week.

tonight until Mr. Gaille was returned his family 48 hours ago. Our happiness is a job well done and a reunion between the victim and his family. As law enforcement officers, we are particularly glad that Los Angeles County Steel has an unblemished record in kidnapping cases. This is the seventh state where the kidnappers either hang or in San Quentin for life.
