Before Stuart was out of the hospital, the police dragnet found a suspect: William Bennett, 39, an unemployed black who had spent 13 years in prison for crimes that included shooting a police officer. According to the police, Bennett bragged to his 15-year-old nephew that he had robbed the Stuarts and taken their jewelry. In the warrant the police obtained to search Bennett's home, they underlined the recollection that Bennett said he told Stuart, ^ "Don't look in the rearview mirror."

Jerusalem has not hesitated to resort to kidnaping in the past. In 1983 Israeli troops in Beirut kidnaped the nephew of Ahmed Jabril, head of the P.F.L.P. --General Command and later the suspected mastermind of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Two years later Israel swapped the captured nephew -- and 1,150 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons -- for three Israeli soldiers held by Jabril...
