Something that distinguishes at least one suspected Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plotter from his 13 codefendants: he backed out.
Before that happened, Brian P. Higgins of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, first drove other defendants during a night-time surveillance mission at Whitmer’s vacation home in Elk Rapids, Michigan prosecutors say. During that mission, Higgins is accused of supplying a night-vision scope and dash-cam that recorded footage from Whitmer’s neighborhood.
