A man who abducted a bus full of school children and buried them alive in 1976 has been approved for parole after spending over 45 years behind bars in California, it has been reported.
Frederick Newhall Woods, now aged 70, and two accomplices took 26 kids, aged between five and 14, along with the bus driver, near the town of Chowchilla, 125 miles from San Francisco.
He and the other two kidnappers, Richard and James Schoenfield, buried the little ones alive in a bunker that had an air vent at a quarry that was owned by Woods' father, The Mirror reports.
