Son of Owner of Radio Metropole: Gunter Widmaier Found Kidnapped and Murdered



On June 29, the body of Gunther Widmaier was found in the Pelerin area.

He had been kidnapped on June 22 with demands for a large ransom, although no public mention of this had been made.

The Widmaiers live on Pelerin 6.

Mutilated body discovered on Pelerin 5.

President Moise lives on Pelerin 5.

Gunther’s father owned Radio Metropole and was on good terms with our government.

A message?

Many questions must be answered. Was this a simple kidnap for ransom, or does the crime have a political base? Perhaps there are several motives involved.

There are some sophisticated investigative procedures that have been focused upon past crimes including an amazingly accurate cell-phone intercept system that allows law enforcement the ability to locate and listen to conversations. One would hope that the days in which Gunther was held saw opportunities to gather important information.

We are in a very dangerous period.

The Office of the Secretary of State takes this opportunity to acknowledge the excellent collaboration of the Widmaier family as it went through a particularly painful ordeal. Unfortunately, despite the efforts made, the dead body of Mr Gunter Widmaier was found on the night of 29 June following the arrest of a 22-year-old suspect, who himself led the police to the scene of the tragedy.

The Office of the Secretary of State has good reason to believe that there was never any question of kidnapping as claimed by those who claimed ransom without being able to produce the proof of life claimed by the parents. No ransom was paid.

Despite the confession of the arrested suspect, that it is an accident that occurred during the consumption of illegal substance, the Office of the Secretary of State for Public Security is not able, for the moment, to confirm the circumstances of the death of Gunter Widmaier.
