The president of Adobe Systems Inc, Charles Geschke, was freed after being kidnapped at gunpoint by two men four days ago as he arrived for work at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California: he was found and freed on Saturday after a suspect caught with $650,000 in ransom money led Federal Bureau of Investigation and other authorities to a bungalow hideout in Hollister, 60 miles south of San Jose; the two men reportedly called the Adobe chief operating offices to their car on the pretext of asking him a question, then at gunpoint took him away and secreted him; two men, Mouhannad Albukhari, 26, of San Jose, and Jack Sayeh, 25, of Campbell, were arrested in connection with the kidnapping; the FBI’s San Jose office was alerted by Adobe executives on Tuesday and monitored four or five phone calls in which Geschke’s kidnappers made ransom arrangements with his wife.
