On Feb. 8, 1977, Richard 'Dick' Hall, then a mortgage broker, was held at gunpoint for 63 hours by Tony Kiritsis, who had fallen behind on his mortgage. Much of the situation was broadcast live by WRTV.
Hall died in his sleep Friday following a brief illness, according to a website for his book,"Kiritsis and Me: Enduring 63 Hours at Gunpoint."
Kiritsis was upset about a mortgage he had fallen behind on. Hall, an executive with the company, threatened to foreclose on it, according to WIBC.RELATED | After 40 years, the target of famous Indianapolis hostage situation breaks his silence
