FBI: Spokane doctor accused of trying to hire kidnapper for wife also trapped girlfriend in underground tank
The Spokane neonatal doctor accused in dark web schemes of trying to hire someone to break his former colleagueโs hands and kidnap his estranged wife will remain in jail, after a federal judge said Wednesday afternoon he poses too much danger to the community.
At the hearing, more details in the case against Dr. Ronald Craig Ilg emerged.
An FBI agent testified that during the same week agents suspect Ilg paid about $40,000 in bitcoin to have his estranged wife kidnapped, he beat his recent girlfriend and threatened to lock her in an underground structure for hours while the two were on vacation in Mexico, as he had done in Spokane previously.
FBI Special Agent Ryan Butler testified the structure at Ilgโs Spokane home was deep enough to require a ladder to escape.
