As a police standoff with an Alabama man accused of holding a
5-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker entered its fifth day on
Saturday, authorities were saying little except that talks with the
65-year-old loner were continuing through a ventilation pipe.
Negotiators were working late Friday to persuade
Jimmy Lee Dykes to surrender. Police have said they believe the
Vietnam-era veteran fatally shot a school bus driver on Tuesday, and
then abducted the boy from the bus.
Police have used a ventilation pipe to the bunker
to talk to the man and deliver the boy medication for his emotional
disorders, but they have not revealed how often they are in touch or
what the conversations have been about.
Neighbors describe Dykes as a menacing figure who holds anti-government views.
