Peter Paul Swanda: Kidnapping

Peter Paul Swanda was born 28 June 1904 in Brainard, NE to Anton Swanda & Anna T Sedlak.

He was wanted for kidnapping Doris Curtis (1914-2000).




I almost didn't write this story but then I thought it would be pretty awesome to add to someone's family tree when they see this.

I did not find a marriage record but his obituary says they married in Redding, CA 5 Sep 1928 and in 1940 they had a daughter Helen Mae Swada who also died that year.

Peter Swanda died 5 Nov 1969 in Colfax, WA and Doris died 3 June 2000 in Colfax, WA they are buried together. 

What a fascinating story, with a happy ending.
