Brookfield High Threat Related To Past Threats?

Police are investigating whether a letter sent to Brookfield High threatening to kidnap a child are tied to previous threats to Brookfield Zoo and Mayor Daley. The letter claims the kidnapping would be in retaliation for a 2003 incident in which a "wolf was shot after it attacked a woman who went around barriers and tried to pet it." The original letter to Daley was sent as a response to the 2008 shooting of the Roscoe Village Cougar. Authorities have taken the threats seriously because a house neighboring Daley's Michigan vacation home was burned down shortly after the threat.
