Federal Kidnapping Case Study
. Most of the kidnapping cases are taken to a state court, where the crime occurred. But if the kidnapping across the state lines it will become a federal crime. This is because the Congress adopted an act called Federal Kidnapping. If the kidnapper crosses a different state, the crime falls under federal jurisdiction.

Finally, Thursday afternoon, the unbelievable happens. Succat walks into the Police Station unharmed with the gang and a stranger wearing a sheet. However, that is not the flabbergasting fact.
