A recent N.C. kidnapping came to an end on Wednesday.

Officials were able to rescue 63-year-old Frank Janssen from an apartment in Atlanta, Georgia where he was taken hostage.

This is speculation that the N.C. kidnapping may have been an act of revenge.

According to The Inquisitr, Frank Janssen's daughter is an assistant district attorney who in 2012 prosecuted Kelvin Melton, a high-ranking member of the "Bloods" street gang in New York City.

Melton was reportedly convicted of ordering the attempted murder of a Raleigh man, the new boyfriend of Melton's ex-girlfriend.

Due to his long record of previous crimes, he received a life sentence, which prompted alleged plans to get revenge on his prosecutor.

The FBI discovered Melton's illegal cell phone and monitored his calls and messages.

Melton reportedly exchanged at least 123 messages and calls with individuals now arrested for the N.C. kidnapping giving orders to kill Janssen.

Janssen was found alive in an apartment in the New Town Circle neighborhood of southeast Atlanta and freed him.

CBS News reports that the alleged kidnappers sent Janssen's wife a photo of him tied up and threatened to torture and dismember him, then return him to her in six boxes.

They also threatened to "torture and kill" every member in the Janssen family.

Janssen's wife discovered he was missing later that day when she found drops of blood outside of their home, according to authorities.

The actual kidnapping reportedly happened on Saturday morning when a person the FBI described as "a heavy set white female" knocked on Janssen's door. When Frank answered, a group of men attacked him, psychically assaulting him and shooting him with a taser.

They then threw him into a vehicle and drove him 400 miles from North Carolina to Atlanta.

Law enforcement officials in North Carolina are investigating how Melton got the cell phone he used to kidnap Frank Janssen.
