Wife of senator abducted, set free
By Matthew Barakat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
McLEAN, Va. — The wife
of Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H.,
was abducted at knife point
from her home on Tuesday
morning, but later released
unharmed, said suburban
Virginia police and spokesmen
for the senator.
Police said that 52-year-old
Kathleen Gregg arrived at her
house about 9:30 a.m. EDT to
find two men waiting inside.
One drew a knife and demanded
cash, said Jacqi Smith, a spokes
woman for the Fairfax County
Police Department.
One of the men then drove
her to a nearby bank while the
other followed in another car,
Smith said, reporting that after
the men received an undisclosed
amount of cash from a teller,
they fled the scene in a car and
the woman called police.
Sgt. Jeff Gossett of the
Fairfax County Police
Department said there was “no
indication at this time they knew
who she was.”
Gossett said the senator’s
wife was “here at the bank,
being interviewed by detec
tives.”
“Yes, she’s fine,” said Mrs.
Gregg’s mother-in-law,
Catherine Gregg, in Nashua,
N.H. “It took a lot of courage, a
lot of courage for what she went
through.”
Gossett said the tellers were
not aware of any problem as
Mrs. Gregg asked to withdraw
money from her bank account.
Cosset said police have no rea
son to believe she was targeted
because she is the senator’s
wife. He said he did not know
where the senator was at the
time.
Gossett said it was similar to
a robbery that happened in the
county last week, but police
have not confirmed whether the
two incidents were connected
It's “very bold, it’s veiy
brazen,” he said.
The bank is in the heartoft
busy suburban shopping dis
trict about five miles fronii
Gregg’s house. j
They have three children, two
daughters and a son.
