The writer of the letter demanded 1,000 for the return of the cat, and warned she would never see him again if she went to the police. She had to put the money in cardboard box and leave it outside her door. After drawing 1,000 from her bank, she acted on the kidnapper’s instructions. The money disappeared the following morning, and her cat, Rastus, returned at seven o’clock that evening.
