Re: Kidnapping
Kidnapping, rape, or murder usually only become federal crimes when they involve crossing state lines or occur on federal land, like a federal park.
Even then, though, the crimes are still usually prosecuted by the states as state crimes, not the United States as federal crimes.

Re: Kidnapping
There are federal laws against all the above mentioned activities, but doing them all together has no bearing on the federal jurisdiction. So, your answer is probably no.
