20 years ago today - Kidnapped Missionaries - 20 Mar 1998

A pair of missionaries were abducted in Saratov. That's about 450 miles southeast of Moscow. We were instructed to not wear our name tags. The missionaries were taken for 5 days and held ransom for 300K dollars. The US government, LDS church and missionaries Families all refused to pay the ransom and the missionaries were eventually released. I should probably see the movie.
