Connecticut Ad Executive Holds Ex-Wife Hostage, Torches Home

Richard Shenkman, Connecticut Ad Exec, Held Ex-Wife Hostage And Set Fire To Home

A crazed Connecticut ad exec held his ex-wife hostage yesterday, threatening to blow up his house unless a priest gave her last rites and their divorce judge remarried them. The terrified woman, Nancy Tyler, somehow was able to leave the house at 8:30 p.m., some 9Β½ hours after her ordeal began.
