Crime: You cannot make this stuff up! (2 parts)

This is a two-parter. For context, you need to read both artlcles. The most recent one is posted first, but the one describing the crime is second and longer. This would make a great miniseries.

Appeal denied for kidnapping fugitives, will be extradited to U.S. for trial

An appeals court in Scotland has ruled three people allegedly involved in an attempted violent kidnapping to be extradited to the US to stand trial.

In early August 2018, Valerie Perfect Hayes, 41, Gary Blake Reburn, 58, and Jennifer Lynn Amnott, 36, fled to the United Kingdom after the attempted kidnapping of five children, all under the age of eight, in a Mennonite Community within Dayton, Virginia.

The court said the three have repeatedly sought to block their extradition back to the United States based on the severity of the mandatory life sentence each would receive if convicted.

Here's the background info. For context, it's important to read all of it. It's nearly unbelievable.
