Breaking News: A Cautionary Tale from the Rockies
In a scene that could easily be mistaken for a low‑budget thriller, 48‑year‑old Joseph Beecher tried to turn a quiet Colorado ranch into a crime scene. His plan? To kidnap the daughters of none other than former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg.
What Went Down
- Breaking In: Beecher slipped into Bloomberg’s private ranch, clutching a vague sense of entitlement and a homemade “kidnap warrant.”
- The Housekeeper’s Role: He demanded Amanda Edinger, the housekeeper, to turn up the “sisters” for a quick photo‑ops.
- Reality Check: It turned out the girls—Georgina and Emma— were not on the premises.
- Forced Detours: Beecher, feeling like an idiot in a bad movie, convinced Edinger to drive him to Wyoming. In the back‑seat, he ordered a cash withdrawal like a desperate gambler at a casino.
The Arrest
Authorities caught him in the act and brought him in for questioning. The arrest underscores that even in a serene ranch setting, trespassing and attempted kidnapping can’t go unchecked.
The Bottom Line
While the unlikely kidnap attempt was foiled, it’s a stark reminder that peace and privacy are never guaranteed—especially when you mix suburban tranquility with a touch of Hollywood drama. Stay safe, neighbors!
Investigators Track Suspicious Duo
Using a housekeeper’s iPad, the police finally pinned down where Beecher and Edinger were hiding – no fancy tech names were disclosed, but the trackers successfully found Beecher snuffling through a motel in Cheyenne.
What Beecher Was Said to Be Up to
- He claimed he wanted to “make an international scene” – vague enough to keep us all on our toes.
- When the officers hauled him in, they found him armed with an AR‑15 and a handgun, turning the stakes way high.
Legal Status
Beecher now faces a federal kidnapping charge, but state authorities still haven’t added any additional tags to his record.
