Summary
Two U.S. Forest Service workers were kidnapped and held hostage in a remote trailer near Mt. Shasta by a father-son duo, Joseph and Phoenix Henrichsen, who allegedly zip-tied the victims. After a tense standoff involving local deputies and the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team that lasted through Thursday night, both hostages were freed unharmed Friday morning. The suspects surrendered without incident, facing federal kidnapping charges. Authorities have no prior connection to the suspects and are investigating why the father specifically demanded to speak with the FBI — a detail that may hold key clues. The victims are recovering, and the case remains under active investigation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
