Our top story for this morning:
:47:50
Catherine Martin, the 25-year-old
daughter of Senator Ruth Martin,
:47:54
listed as missing, is now
believed to have been kidnapped
:47:57
by the serial killer
known only as Buffalo Bill.
:48:00
Police indicate that the girl's
blouse has been identified,
:48:04
sliced up the back, in what has become
a grim, all-too-familiar calling card.
:48:08
Young Catherine Martin is the only
daughter of Senator Ruth Martin,
:48:12
the Republican senator from Tennessee.
:48:14
Her kidnapping is not considered
to be politically motivated,
:48:18
but it has stirred
the government to its highest levels.
:48:21
Reached for comment on the ski slopes
of Vermont, the president is said to be,
:48:25
and I quote, "intensely concerned".
:48:28
Just moments ago Senator Martin
taped this dramatic personal plea.
:48:32
I'm speaking now to the person
who is holding my daughter.
:48:37
Catherine is very gentle and kind.
:48:41
Talk to her and you'll see.
:48:44
You have the power. You are in charge.
:48:50
I know you can feel love and compassion.
:48:55
You have a wonderful chance
to show the whole world
:48:59
that you can be merciful
as well as strong,
