Who is Frederick Woods ‘Chowchilla Bus Kidnapper’?
Frederick Woods was arrested in 1976 after becoming a key suspect in the kidnapping of a bus full of 5 to 14 years old kids in Chowchilla, California. He did one of the largest kidnappings in America. He was a part of a rich family but he did all this because of his self-imposed loneliness and the fear that he did not measure up to his father’s expectations.
He was so frustrated by these thoughts that he sometimes used to threaten people with his shotgun who trespass him. Frederick was born with a silver spoon and there was no shortage of wealth in his life.
