Eastern Heiress
Gives False Stdrv
Of Kidnap Try
CHICAGO, (#> — A New Jersey
socialite heiress has admitted her
story of being kidnaped from the
Newark Airport by two men, driv
en to Chicago and then released
because she was “too hot” to keep,
was a myth.
Pretty Jacqueline Gay Hart, 21,
broke down Friday under the
gentle questioning of her father,
Ralph A. Hart, executive vice
president of the Colgate-Palmolive
Co., and an FBI agent. After con
fessing the hoax, Miss Hart said
she did not remember what had
happened since she vanished from
the New Jersey Airport Tuesday
night.
The FBI said it was checking
all phases of Miss Hart’s story
which unfolded after she appeared
screaming and crying, “Help me!
Help me!” beside a police cruiser
in downtown Grant Park early
Friday.
Authorites sent out a broad
cast describing the diamond ring,
an amythest ring, a brooch and a
bracelet which she said the men
stripped from her.
At the outset, the FBI and police
were skeptical of the girl’s story
of being seized, blindfolded and
gagged, tossed in the tonneau of
a car under a blanket and driven
by two abductors to Chicago and
then released in the lakefront
park.
Police said Miss Hart’s smart
gray tweed dress, white sweater,
black shoes and sheer stockings
failed to show any of the wear
and tear which an ordeal such as
she described would have in
flicted. And her one bruise — on
her left arm — failed to tally with
her account of her being struck
in the mouth by one of her cap
tors after he locked her in the
bathroom of an unidentified house
in Chicago before her release.
Hart said his daughter is suffer
ing from nervous exhaustion and
is under a physician’s care some
where in Chicago.
