In the new movie, J. Edgar, will there be an admission that the FBI, at first, recovered the wrong baby in the Lindbergh case? FBI agents Turner and Leon Turrou admit they turned up another child. From Citizen Hoover by Robert Nash: "Year later, FBI man Leon Turrou was to confide that his agents recovered the wrong baby in the Lindbergh case. 'Naturally,' Turrou stated, 'all of us on the Lindbergh squad took special pains to keep these blunderings out of reach of the reporters.'" (p.55) And again, I bring up that Canadian fingerprint expert, James Wilkinson, who was good friends with Hoover, and who was sent (by Hoover?) to go down to New Jersey to identify a dead child. "According to James Wilkinson's son and daughter, he was also a close acquaintance of J. Edgar Hoover; it was not uncommon for the director of the FBI to stop by for dinner at the Wilkinson home. His son Gordon also remembers his father being sent to New Jersey to examine the body of a child found after the Lindberg kidnapping." See page 12: "James Wilkinson, A Man Ahead of His Time." www.police.windsor.on.ca/History/historical%20booklet%20final%20draft.pdf

Steve,
But this seems to be a dead child that Wilkinson went to see. Why would they call a fingerprint expert to look at a live child?

The thing about Turrou is that he would eventually be fired by Hoover. In fact they both seemed to hate each other. I have a couple of very interesting letters from HRO where he wrote to Turrou in France. Turrou told him in no uncertain terms that Hauptmann was guilty.
And so I see a man who hates Hoover, was fired from the FBI, and could have totally blown up this whole case - doing just the opposite and I have to wonder about this account being a truthful one.
Next, I have done a ton of research about who actually was "allowed" to see the child. I have never come across this man's name, or the suggestion of one who may have been granted access to see the corpse in the small window of time before he was whisked away to be cremated.
I will keep looking, because, things have a way of turning up when you least expect them to.

I really wish this was footnoted. I'll keep my eye out for more on this but the only place I have ever seen anything is from you pointing it out. There's got to be more on this, regardless of what it says, out there to be discovered somewhere.

"The FBI tried to conceal the fact that at first it had recovered the wrong baby's body after the Lindbergh ordeal; the kidnaper, Bruno Hauptmann, was detected mainly through the tracing of ransom money by Treasury agents..."
