The ransom was apparently being readied at Patterson's Haddonfield, N.J., home when word of his release was received by the victim's wife. The FBI said Patterson was abducted at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday shortly after parking his car in a lot adjacent to the Arthur H. Thomas Co., the firm he and his father, Edward Sr., operate. According to the FBI, two men carrying pistols forced Patterson into a waiting auto, blindfolded him and sped to an undisclosed location. The abductors later contacted another executive of Patterson's firm to discuss the amount of ransom and the arrangements for delivery. The FBI said a company official took the money to a drop site Friday, but the kidnapers never appeared. Ao FBI spokesman said money was the motive. "We're treating this as purely a thing," he said.
