<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 3999290, member: 13430"]Very interesting and very cool. Among notorious child kidnappings in the US, the next one on the list is often the Cudahy case in Omaha in 1900. The ransom note for the Cudahy child even referenced the Ross kidnapping. In an apparent copycat crime in 1901, two criminals attempted to kidnap my wife's great uncle in Bethlehem (they were one of the wealthy families then), but the gardener's son who was the same age and looked similar was kidnapped instead by mistake. The boy was finally able to convince them of their mistake, and they released him that night. The boy walked back home, arriving around midnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's great that you were able to rescue all this nice ephemera. Sad that much ended up in the landfill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
