- 1965: Director Hale Champion, Wife, and 19-Month Old Daughter Kidnapped
In July 1965, Mr. and Mrs. Hale Champion and their 19-month-old daughter Katherine, were kidnapped and held captive for 24 hours by two convicts who had just been released from an Oregon penitentiary. The kidnapping was at the tail end of a week-long crime spree that included the holding up a motel and bank, killing of a deputy sheriff, and kidnapping of nine people. This led to one of the biggest manhunts at that time, involving hundreds of local and state officers. The two convicts eventually surrendered without a fight. Mrs. Hale and their daughter were unharmed, but Mr. Champion suffered a gunshot wound fired by a vigilante who tried to stop the kidnapper. [View YouTube.com Video]
