The Unknown Kidnapper

Seven clues. One story. One truth.

1. Clue One — The Ransom Demand

   The ransom—one million dollars, paid entirely in old, used bills.

2. Clue Two — Postal Instructions

   The money must be sent via the postal service inside a plain, ordinary wrapper.

3. Clue Three — A Curious Wrapper

   The wrapper must come from the tycoon’s own office supply.

4. Clue Four — Address Check

   Investigators confirm only one part of the address is real—the city.

5. Clue Five — False Details

   The rest of the address is fake. The street name and recipient do not exist.

6. Clue Six — Impossible Delivery

   How can the kidnapper collect a package mailed to a completely fake address?

7. Clue Seven — Postal Rule

   By rule, any undeliverable package is simply returned to the sender.
