Searing media spotlight may have panicked Lu kidnappers

There was no ransom demand made for Wanzhen (Peter) Lu by his kidnappers during the 72 hours he was held by them, police say. Nonetheless, the assumption seems easy that this was the purpose behind the abduction of the son of wealthy southern China parents who was living an ostentatious life of expensive cars and companionship in Toronto. CTV has spoken to the Gravenhurst man who came across Lu as he apparently stumbled along in the dark Tuesday night. There is no hint in the man’s experience helping Lu as to why the young man was released. York Regional Police are suggesting that the searing spotlight that fell on this crime may have helped. The kidnappers may have panicked for this and other unknown factors YRP vow they will apprehend the four men seen committing the abduction in Lu’s condo garage.  CTV
