The owners of a large airline maintenance firm have gone public with their son's kidnapping nearly a month after meeting a ransom demand -- and getting only silence in return.
Thomas and Pamela Wiles went to the cops last week after they complied with a ransom demand for the return of their 26-year-old son Robert Wiles.
"Robert was," Thomas Miles began, then quickly correcting himself. "Is, is. He's a pilot with multiengine instrument ratings. He's a diver, athlete and a journeyman fisherman."
Robert Wiles was last seen at his job at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport at 6:30 p.m. April 1. Lakeland is about 35 miles east of Tampa.
On April 3, two days after he disappeared, Thomas and Pamela Wiles, who live near Toledo, Ohio, received a ransom note. The kidnappers demanded cash with specific instructions that Wiles' parents met.
Since then, there has been no additional correspondence from the kidnapper or kidnappers and the parents said they fear the money may never have made it to their son's captors.
