Description:: William F. Gettle, Beverly Hills millionaire and businessman, is reunited with his four children after his kidnapping.

Gearhardt, broke the case after installing a dictaphone in the home of a bank robbery suspect. Information from the dictaphone led them to a La Crescenta home where Gettle was held.
