Event
2007 NASA Kidnap Case
Profession
Astronauts
An astronaut made her first court appearance Tuesday on charges she attempted to kidnap a romantic rival in a bizarre plot.
A judge and the lawyer for Lisa Marie Nowak, 43, discussed whether she should be kept in jail or released on bail. Nowak is a married mother of three who police believe was in a love triangle with a fellow astronaut.
Nowak stood in a jail uniform, with her head down as the hearing was under way. She faces charges including attempted kidnapping, attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery.
Police said she drove 900 miles, donned a disguise and was armed with a BB gun and pepper spray when she confronted a woman she believed was a competitor for the affections of Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein.
Nowak and Oefelein, 41, were both first-time fliers during separate shuttle missions last year. They trained together but never flew together.
