Following a daring rescue, a
5-year-old boy held captive for seven days in an underground bunker in southern
Alabama is alive and his kidnapper, Jimmy Lee Dykes, is dead, the FBI said
Monday afternoon.
“Within the past 24 hours
negotiations deteriorated and Mr. Dykes was observed holding a gun,"
Special Agent in Charge Stephen Richardson, of the Mobile, Ala., office, said
at a press briefing Monday. "At this point, FBI agents, fearing the child
was in imminent danger, entered the bunker and rescued the child.”
