On August 3, 1993 Harvey Weinstein stopped by his favorite diner as he did every morning to eat breakfast. As he was leaving after finishing his meal he walked towards his car when two men approached him at knife point and shoved him into his car. Harvey attempted to plea with the captors by offering them money and other possession he had on him. The captors had their eyes on a bigger prize after all they were holding the “The Tuxedo King” of New York. The individuals moved Harvey to a pit in the ground which was approximately 14 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The pit was covered with a large metal plate, sticks, and dirt. A woman called stating that she was holding Harvey for a $3 million dollar ransom. The Police eventually found the metal plate and sticks covering the whole and moved it aside to uncover Harvey alive. In total Harvey Spent a total of 13 days in the hole surviving off water and bananas. According to the police officers the first thing Harvey did was take in a couple deep breaths of the fresh air and then asked for was a cigarette. #TuxedoKing #SolvedCase #HeldForRansom
