Hostages in Old Hollow
In mid-April, the discovery of an abandoned car in Old Hollow by Rappahannock Sheriff s Department Lt. Jeff Brown led to a five-day manhunt involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Police and the county’s sheriffs department.
The car, which was traced to a Connecticut man, led to Charles A. Leaf II. who had kidnapped his estranged wife. Cheryl Hart and their 3-year-old son, Charles III.
For three days law enforcement agents searched the mountains around Old Hollow, looking for the fugitive and his two victims. Finally, the trio were discovered hiding in a vacant house.
Surrounded by federal and state tactical team agents, Charles Leaf held the police at bay for nearly a day. Finally, after 18 hours, the police agreed to let the three leave in a helicopter which had landed in a field in front of the house.
The three left the house, Ms. Hart in front with a gun to her head, little Charlie strapped to his father’s back. As they crossed the field, walking toward the helicopter, it took off without them. Stunned by percussion grenades. Leafs attention was diverted long enough for a marksman to fell him with one shot in the head. He died in the helicopter which flew him to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Ms. Hart and young Charlie were rescued unharmed. At Christmas, they sent a card and letter of thanks to the residents of Rappahannock County.
