Dale County, Ala. Sheriff Wally Olson told reporters Monday that Jimmy Lee Dykes, who has been holding a young boy hostage in a bunker since last Tuesday, “feels like he has an important story to share.”
From al.com:
He said Dykes’ story is complex.
When asked by the media, however, Olson wouldn’t disclose exactly what Dykes’ demands are as he continues to hold 5-year-old Ethan hostage. The hostage standoff has largely been shrouded in secrecy leading media to believe Dykes has access to the internet and a television.
