Samuel Bronfman, II – On Aug. 9, 1975, Samuel was abducted in New York. He was held for more than a week when his father personally paid a $2.3 million ransom. He was later rescued by the FBI and New York City police from a Brooklyn apartment where he was found with his hands bound and his eyes and mouth covered with adhesive tape. The captors, both natives of Ireland, former limousine operator, Dominic Byrne, and his neighbor, former fireman Mel Patrick Lynch– "who claimed that he and whisky heir Samuel Bronfman were homosexual lovers," and "claimed that Bronfman’s nine-day disappearance in August 1975 was a hoax abduction engineered by the 23-year-old whisky heir himself" –were acquitted of kidnapping, but convicted of extortion charges and spent several years in prison.] The ransom money was recovered. He was married to Melanie Mann.
