Amy Renee Mihaljevic ( ; December 11, 1978 – October 27, 1989) was a ten-year-old American elementary school student who was kidnapped and murdered in the U.S. state of Ohio in 1989.
 Her murder case raised national attention.
 The story of her unsolved kidnapping and murder was one of the first cases presented by John Walsh on the television show, "America's Most Wanted" during its first year.
 To date, her killer has not been found, yet the case remains active; new information in 2007 and 2013 has increased hopes of resolving the case.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling ( ; 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist.
The Copenhagen Connection is a 1982 mystery novel by American writer Barbara Mertz published under the pseudonym Elizabeth Peters .

Deadly Prey is a 1986 film that was first screened in the United States in March 1987 at that year's American Film Market.
 After The Winters Group helped finance David A. Prior's previous film, "Aerobicide", Prior, along with executive producers David Winters and Bruce Lewin, and producer Peter Yuval formed Action International Pictures and their first projects were "Mankillers" and "Deadly Prey".
 Both shot back to back in and around Riverside, California, "Deadly Prey" tells the story of a former Marine (played by Prior's brother Ted) who is kidnapped for participation in a human safari.
 This film, which has some resemblance to the action film "First Blood" (1982) starring Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo, has never been officially released on DVD, making it "hard to find".
The Rudyard Kipling story "Kidnapped" was first published in the "Civil and Military Gazette" on March 21, 1887, in the first Indian edition of "Plain Tales from the Hills" (1888), and in subsequent editions of that collection.

Railsea is a young adult novel written and illustrated by English writer China Miéville, and published in May 2012.
 Miéville described the novel as "weird fiction", "io9" labelled its mix of fantasy and steampunk elements as "salvagepunk" and the story has been seen as an "affectionate parody" of Herman Melville's classic novel "Moby-Dick", also drawing on Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novels "Treasure Island" and "Kidnapped".
In the alleged criminal case of Lisa F., a 13 year old Russian-German girl was reported missing for over a day in Berlin in January 2016 and, after returning, she first claimed that that she had been kidnapped and raped by three strangers.
 The case has been promptly used by Russian officials and media to accuse Germany of tolerating and covering up child abuse which in turn provoked demonstrations of Russian Germans in several cities in Germany.
 The kidnapping story has been shortly after proven to be false by police after analysis of mobile phone logs and Lisa admitted she went into hiding voluntarily and wasn't raped.
Henry James O'Brien Bedford-Jones (1887–1949) was a Canadian historical, adventure fantasy, science fiction, crime and Western writer who became a naturalized United States citizen in 1908.
 After being encouraged to try writing by his friend, writer William Wallace Cook, Bedford-Jones began writing dime novels and pulp magazine stories.
 Bedford-Jones was an enormously prolific writer; the pulp editor Harold Hersey once recalled meeting Bedford-Jones in Paris, where he was working on two novels simultaneously, each story on its own separate typewriter.
 Bedford-Jones cited Alexandre Dumas as his main influence, and wrote a sequel to Dumas' "The Three Musketeers", "D'Artagnan" (1928).
 He wrote over 100 novels, earning the nickname "King of the Pulps".
 His works appeared in a number of pulp magazines.
