and successful businessman was at the sheriff s office near his expensive home in pontra vedra, florida. a wealthy community 20 miles south of jacksonville. his wife quin was kidnapped just a few hours earlier. the ransom, $50,000. i m not going to be able to work, sleep, eat, breathe until this is resolved. one thing you have to understand is that in the modern-day market place of crime, kidnapping for ransom is practically an antique. here s why. it s not difficult to abduct a family member of a rich person, but things like improved technical surveillance, cooperation between law enforcement agencies, even caller i.d., now make it just about impossible to pick up ransom money and escape undetected. as a result, the kind of kidnapping you see in the movies, pretty much exists only in hollywood. but for reid gray, this was frightening, nerve racking, reality. and no car trouble, no phone calls in the middle of the
all right. i talk to her first. i see her. and she walks across and gets in my car. ma am, i m making the decisions, not you no, no, i m sorry, but i am going to see my daughter and i m going to have her in my car. i ve got your [ bleep ] money. let me see my daughter and i want her in my car. do you understand? was this at last the end of this ordeal? it was not. because the kidnappers never showed, and quin s mom returned home. that s when investigators realized they had a new problem. deputies in saint john s county are looking for a pontra vedra woman did not return home. somehow it broke on the local news. a story investigators had been trying to keep out of the press. this hits the news. you weren t expecting that? i wasn t. we d been pretty fortunate to have this go a couple days without it being on the news. quite frankly, we don t want them to see it either. but the kidnappers did see it, and they were not happy. quin s mom received a text.

like this happen? so we were really back to square one. who are we looking for? we had no idea. the rest of saturday went by with no word from quin or the kidnappers. meanwhile, quin s mom gayle sykes left her georgia home and headed to her daughter s house in pontra vedra, florida. i jumped in my car and headed south. how long is the drive? 7 1/2 hours. long drive with that kind of information in your brain. at around 2:00 a.m. when gayle arrived, she found an unbelievable scene. i walked into like a war zone. the s.w.a.t. team was hiding inside the house? they were everywhere. i was told that they were outside, in the bushes, that they were on the roof. it was unreal. early sunday morning, almost 36 hours since quin gray s abduction, and 12 hours since the last contact from the kidnappers. fbi hostage negotiator tony
