The Cudahy snatch & the Lindbergh connection.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Cudahy,_Jr. A little of the ransom note contents: Mr. Cudahy: We have kidnapped your child and demand $25,000 for his safe return. If you give us the money he will return as safe as when you last saw him, but if you refuse, we will put acid in his eyes and blind him.
Get the money all in gold, 5, 10 and 20 (dollar) pieces... Get in your buggy alone on the night of December 19 at 7 o'clock p.m. Follow the paved road toward Fremont. When you come to a lantern...by the side of the road, place the money by the lantern and immediately turn your horse around and return home.

There you are, a "classic" ransom note which contains all the proper elements. It's not a unknown formula. So once again, why does the "well planned" LKC miss the boat? Was the writer so enthralled with mystical symbols that he forgot the point of the note and the entire enterprise?
