LOU I S, Il l. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal investigators helped by a conscientious paroled killer say they foiled a plot to abduct, extort and electrocute a wealthy man in a scheme they say borrowed elements from a television show and sought to blame the killing on the planned victim's cat.

A criminal complaint against Brett Nash of Pontoon Beach, unsealed Wednesday, identifies the target of the plot only as a former corporate attorney in the southern Illinois industrial town of Granite City who long pursued sex with Nash's wife.

Agents arrested Nash, 45, on Monday near a Kmart in Granite City shortly before the alleged crime was to have taken place. He was arraigned a day later on a felony charge of interference with commerce by violence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; attempted extortion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and waived his detention hearing. His public defender, Thomas Gabel, declined to discuss the matter Thursday.

According to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Nicholas Manns detailing the alleged plot, authorities learned of the alleged plot after an acquaintance Nash enlisted for help earlier this month reported the matter to his former parole the next day. The unidentified recruit, who met Nash years ago while both

worked as deckhands on river barges, went on to work for the FBI and secretly recorded conversations with Nash in the next weeks.

The recruit, who has previous convictions for second-degree murder and sexual assault, told Manns â&#x20AC;&#x153;he had straightened out his life, believed in God and could not live with himself if someone were murdered and he had done nothing about it,â&#x20AC;? Manns wrote.

The man also feared Nash was setting him up, Manns said.

Nash, insisting he had just $300 in the bank and needed about $37,000 to avert foreclosure, planned to force the intended victim to withdraw large amounts of money from a bank account, telling the recruit the would-

be victim had about $250,000 in the bank, Manns wrote. Nash sought to get at least $60,000 of that money, then kill the man in a way that appeared accidental, the affidavit said.

One scenario Nash told the potential accomplice was inspired by a television show involved making the would-be victim believe he was wired with explosives collared around his neck while he drained his bank account for Nash, Manns wrote. Nash also considered carjacking the man and holding him hostage for weeks while forcing him to write Nash a series of checks, Manns wrote.

And another plan Nash explored, the agent said, was forcing the man into a hot tub and electrocuting him with a

radio tossed into the water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; followed by kitty litter that Nash thought would prompt authorities to believe the animal was the culprit in the killing.

Nash planned to pay his wouldbe accomplice $5,000 and split the extortion proceeds with him, Manns wrote in the affidavit, and had insisted he could disguise the recruit using makeup tricks he had learned in college.

Investigators who searched Nash's house Monday found a diagram of the intended victim's home, along with a backpack containing a ski mask, handcuffs, a compressed-air pellet gun resembling a semiautomatic pistol, black socks and gloves, a flashlight, plastic bag and black hair dye.

&UDE 2UFKDUG RIIHUV HDJOH YLHZLQJ WRXUV 6+$521 :,77.( 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ In 1964, there were fewer than 450 breeding pairs of bald eagles in the lower 48 United States.

Today, there are about 10,000.

Four of those pairs live in the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, five miles west of Marion.

During the last two weekends in January, visitors can take guided tours to view eagle nests and spot other refuge-dwellers such as deer, red-tailed hawks and Canada geese.

Kim King-Wrenn, visitor services manager for the refuge, said the tours are very popular and fill up each year. She said more than 100 people show up each weekend to take the two-hour van tour into areas of the refuge usually restricted to visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People start making reservations in December. We have to turn a lot of people away,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The recent increase in the number of bald eagles in the United States is considered by naturalists to be an environmental success story.

When Europeans first arrived in North America, there may have been as many as half a million bald eagles.

Their numbers declined as the growing human population expanded westward because bald eagles and people competed for the same food: fish, waterfowl and small game.

Habitat destruction was also a factor in the decline of the bald eagle population in the lower 48 states. As Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human population grew, forests were cut down to make room for farms, businesses and homes.

By the late 1800s, much of the eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; natural habitat was destroyed, leaving them with fewer places to nest and hunt.

In response to the declining bald eagle population, Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act in 1940, which made it illegal to hunt or harass both bald and golden eagles.

However, at about the same time, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, or DDT, and other synthetic pesticides were becoming widely used by farmers in the United States.

Veronica Kelly, a senior from Grand Chain majoring in forestry, led a guided tour Saturday.

She said the DDT farmers sprayed on their crops ended up in streams and rivers, where it was absorbed by fish.

Bald eagles became exposed to DDT when they ate contaminated fish. The bioaccumulation of DDT in mother eagles caused their eggs to be formed with very thin shells that cracked before the chicks were fully developed.

As a result, eagles were raising

A bald eagle spreads its wings Thursday in a tree off Clear Creek Levee Road near Reynoldsville. Vicki Lang, a volunteer at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, said bald eagles are a year-round inhabitant of southern Illinois and can be spotted near the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes and rivers. fewer young so their population continued to decline, she said.

Congress responded by passing the Endangered Species Act in 1973. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website, this landmark legislation is regarded as one of the most important and comprehensive laws enacted to protect wildlife.

The same year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of DDT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, in 1993, the bald eagle population in the United States skyrocketed, and in 2007 they came off the endangered species list,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said.

Vicki Lang, an Anna resident who has volunteered at the refuge for fifteen years, was also a tour leader. She said the No. 1 mission of the refuge is protecting wildlife habitat for all inhabitants, including the bald eagle.

She pointed out an eagle nest, or aerie, situated in the crotch of a tall tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This nest is the oldest nest on the refuge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been used for almost 30 years,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eagles use the same nest year after year. Each year they do some housekeeping on it.â&#x20AC;?

Lang said bald eagles refurbish their nests during January and February. The nests are typically five feet across, but can expand to as much as eight feet because eagles will continue to add sticks

and mud each year.

Bald eagles mate for life, and both the male and female help raise their young. In southern Illinois, the female lays two or three eggs in March or April. The parents take turns incubating the eggs for 35 days, she said.

Lang said after the eggs hatch, both parents feed them for about three months.

She said bald eagles prefer fish, but during the winter months they eat ducks and geese because fish stay too far below the surface for eagles to catch.

This year, waterfowl that normally migrate to southern Illinois during the winter are staying farther north because of warmerthan-average temperatures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This winter, the eagles have to fly farther to find waterfowl to eat,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Diane Reader, a Murphysboro resident, said she was impressed with the tour and enjoyed seeing the refuge. She said she spent time eagle-watching in Alaska several years ago, where eagles had not suffered the same decline in population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seemed like they were everywhere in Alaska. They are a common sight there,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Dunbar joined the track team as a walk-on his freshman year and now runs as a scholarship athlete. As a member of the Air National Guard, Dunbar said he enjoys flying in his spare time.
