DOUBLE OAK, TEXAS (AP) -- Authorities say a man who had once been a neighbor is believed to be the mastermind behind the kidnapping of a woman whose family owns Fletcher's Corny Dogs -- a staple of the State Fair of Texas.
21-year-old Amber Fletcher was shaken but otherwise unhurt after being rescued.
She was abducted early Monday by three men from her Denton County home in the town of Double Oak.
The Dallas Morning News reports Texas Ranger Tracy Murphree says 39-year-old Adolfo Chavez of Dallas had once lived next door to the Fletcher family and sold them a home.
The other suspects are 44-year-old Candelario Romero of Justin and 37-year-old Placido Porras of Irving.
Officials at the Denton County Jail say the suspects are charged with aggravated kidnapping for ransom or reward, a first-degree felony punishable by up to life in prison.
All three won't be released because they are suspected of being in the U.S. illegally and a hold was placed on them by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
