Man Charged in 1996 Kidnapping and Death of Young Girl in Bowling Green, Kentucky
A man with a criminal record has been charged in connection with the 1996 kidnapping and death of a young girl in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Robert Scott Froberg faces a federal charge of kidnapping resulting in death. The charge is related to the abduction and killing of a child whose body was discovered in White House, Tennessee, in 1996. Froberg confessed to kidnapping the child, strangling her, and disposing of her body after being confronted with DNA evidence linking him to the crime. He stole a van in Ohio and kidnapped the child in Bowling Green before killing her in Tennessee. The case remained unsolved for years until DNA technology led to Froberg's identification. Froberg has a history of criminal activities, including armed robbery and escape from prison. He admitted to the kidnapping and killing during an interview with investigators.
