One arrested in the kidnapped pilot Robert Wiles case
December 21st, 2009 - 10:08 pm ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt ( Leave a comment )Lakeland, Dec 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The investigators have said that they have arrested one person named Stobert Lindell Holt, in the case of the missing pilot Robert Wiles. The twenty-six year old Robert was kidnapped in 2008 when he was on work at the National Flight Service in Lakeland.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said that the forty-two year old Stobert Lindell Holt was arrested on Friday afternoon at the Orlando International Airport and charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, extortion and for making written threats to kill or do bodily harm. “It’s a sense of accomplishment for the investigators, I’m sure,” said FBI Tampa spokesman David Couvertier. “On the other side, it’s a sad reality.”
David also said the investigators were waiting for Stobert Lindell Holt to return back from a business trip to Columbia. A Polk County grand jury indicted him this week.
The FBI said that while Robert Wiles’ body has not been yet found, though an investigation has revealed he was killed. “Mr. Holt was responsible for that disappearance,” Couvertier said.” At this point, Robert is determined to be deceased.”
Stobert Holt was employed as the Lakeland NFS operations manager and lived in Apollo Beach at the time of Robert Wiles’ disappearance. And after his disappearance his family got a ransom note, after 2 days. Even though the family agreed to the ransom demands, yet they did not hear from either the kidnappers nor from Robert Wiles.
