Back in 2017 in Erie, Illinois, Connie and Larry Van Oosten were a married retired couple who would be kidnapped from their home. About a day later, 30 miles away from Erie in Albany, a woman would walk into the First Trust and Savings bank. She was still dressed in her pajamas and gave the bank teller a cashier’s check for $350,000. This was made out to a company called The Store Edge. At the same time, the woman slipped a handwritten letter to the teller. This stated, “I am here under duress. Please call the police. My husband and I are being held at gunpoint. Do not react. Do not follow us.” Investigators had discovered that the company The Store Edge that was written on the check left at the bank, was owned by a man named Chad Schipper. With this discovery, he became the prime suspect. As police zeroed in on the home residence, his wife and six children were woken up in the middle of the night with police demanding to know where Chad was. After a high speed chase ended in the arrest of their prime suspect, investigators searched his rental home. They would also locate a room with a screen that appeared to be showing security footage. An elderly couple were seen in a concrete room shackled to a wall forced to stand up and blindfolded. There were no stairs to be seen, only a ladder against the wall. As they began removing the floors, they would uncover a steel-lined door in a closet that led to a soundproofed underground cellar. The couple were weak from lack of food and sleep. They were both bruised and showing signs of hypothermia. After realizing they were being rescued, they embraced deputies in tears.
