By STEVE KARNOWSKI, Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Police in northern Minnesota say a man suspected of kidnapping his estranged wife is also a person of interest in a Kansas bank robbery.
The Virginia Police Department says it was contacted Thursday by the FBI in Kansas City about a bank robbery that happened July 15. That's the day after 40-year-old Timothy Glen Caskey allegedly abducted 44-year-old Roberta Lynn Caskey.
Detective Tim Koivunen says Timothy Caskey is being sought as a person of interest in the robbery.
In the robbery, a man entered the bank, handed the teller a demand note and then fled with an undisclosed amount of money. No weapon was seen.
The suspect left the bank parking lot in an older red pickup with a female passenger.
Caskey and his wife have not been found.
