David Letterman’s Son Was Once Nearly Kidnapped
Back in 2005, the Letterman family had to deal with a scary situation. Back then, David had hired an unidentified painter to paint the house who instead made an attempt to kidnap Harry Joseph, then 16 months old, and the nanny for a $5 million ransom.
The then-possible kidnapper Kelly Allen Frank was subsequently arrested on charges of solicitation to kidnap. At the time, investigators said that Kelly had approached an acquaintance of a plan to abduct. But, the person “didn’t like the idea” and told all about Kelly’s plot to the Teton County sheriff’s office.
Upon the court’s verdict, Frank was given a 10-year-prison sentence but escaped in 2007. Kelly couldn’t spend a long life as a fugitive as he was recaptured shortly and released on parole in 2014. A year after, Frank was again arrested for violating the terms of his parole.
