HELENA, Mont. (AP) – A man who was accused of plotting to kidnap talk show host David Letterman’s young son and nanny nine years ago was released from a Montana prison Thursday, state corrections officials said.
Kelly A. Frank was heading to Las Vegas, where he will live under the supervision of the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, according to Montana Department of Corrections spokeswoman Judy Beck.
Letterman spokesman Tom Keaney declined to comment.
Frank was a painter on Letterman’s Montana ranch near the Rocky Mountain Front when he was arrested in March 2005.
Frank told an acquaintance that he had a key to the house and knew where the baby slept, according to prosecutors. Letterman and his then 16-month-old son were not in Montana at the time, but were planning a visit.
