Some 80,000 policemen have been thrown into the search...

Ingrid Schubert, 32, one of eleven jailed terrorists whose release had been demanded by Schleyer's kidnapers, was found dead in her Munich prison cell. She had apparently hanged herself. Schubert was the fourth terrorist to die in West German custody within the past month...
