An Atlanta kidnapping crew scheming to nab a North Carolina prosecutor went to the wrong address and, instead, grabbed the attorney’s father, authorities said. Prosecutors said a hired crew was contracted to snatch his daughter, Wake County, N.C., Assistant District Attorney Colleen Janssen, at the behest of a man she had put in prison for life.
Twice, apparent bungling led the cohorts to the wrong place, according to the indictment obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In March, an Internet search led the alleged conspirators to an address for the North Carolina prosecutor … in Louisiana. So an armed team rented a car and drove to Louisiana on what proved to be a fruitless mission. “Despite traveling from Georgia to Louisiana and taking various other steps to carry out the kidnapping plot, the participants aborted the plot prior to completing the abduction,” the indictment read.
And on April 5, prosecutors said four people drove a rented car from Atlanta to Wake Forest with information they believed pointed them to the home of Colleen Janssen.
They found, instead, her father, and according to prosecutors, left a receipt at Frank Janssen’s home from a meal stop they made earlier that day en route to their target. Investigators would eventually find the receipt and track it to a McDonald’s restaurant in Lexington, S.C., where surveillance video would help identify two of the suspects, authorities said.
Frank Janssen was pistol-whipped and shocked with an electronic stun gun multiple times, both at his home as he was taken and on the trip back to Atlanta, prosecutors said. Five days later, an FBI kidnap rescue unit located and freed him safely from a southeast Atlanta apartment just as the crew made plans to kill him, authorities said.

There is stupid, and then there is Quintaviously stupid.
So this differs how from the botched SWAT raids?

“When writing to The Factuh, do not be quantavious. Do not be quantavious. Like all of these words-of-the-day, I have no idea what it means. I just spew whatever my staff gives me.” Ted Baxter, Jr.
They call me Mr. Tibbs or Jakym or sometimes Camel.
More “Southern Amish” in action! Just WTF is a “Quantavius?” Sounds like something you’d go to a Dermatologist to have removed.
Oddly enough, I have seen the name “Quantavious” before.
In a crime report.
As the arrested suspect.
Perhaps it’s not so odd after all ...
What the heck is NASA supposed to do for their future staffing when all their prospective rocket scientists are getting incarcerated like this?
A Chinese warlord ? Kwan Tae Xi Yus ?
I bet all the drug dealers in that housing complex soiled their pants at the sight of all those LEOs.
Looks like this puts our LEO’s and the kidnappers on the same mental level when it comes to finding the correct address for their victims.
Must be a member of the Roman senate with a name like that.
if only they had midnight basketball...
I have a feeling one of Jakym’s parents smoked Camel cigarettes and had a pack lying around the hospital room. Call it a hunch (or a hump).
Ouch!
Rescuing kidnap victims is one of the few situations where military-type tactics are probably appropriate.
