Marya was an heiress and the belle of Viadikavkaz, and police and public united in a sys- tematic search for the missing heiress. Bloodhounds were employed, but in the midst of the excitement Marya re- turned to her home as suddenly as she had disappeared. Her story was even more exciting than that of previously kidnapped women, and it was owing to the following tale which she tok that Vitkovski and Grun were eventu ally brought to justice : { "I woke up in the night," she said.
