Attachment DeletedThey were so good at switching my dad into another family that my aunt doesn't even remember why they went to New York. (To see a Prosthesis Specialist). When I spoke to my aunt today....she and I were both surprised that she didn't relize that her trips to New York were all about privately fixing my dad's toes on his left foot. They melted my dad right into another family. Attachments:

mike back in 1992 before mark was at the njsp museum, they gave me some of the newspaper listings of the ransom numbers and I got years later from other researchers the bank ransom booklet and a trial pass

Hello Everyone: I am very interested in knowing about the location of Haddonfield N.J. (Redmond Avenue) ....It seems very close to Philadelphia...Is there anything in particular about that area? ie: Bootleg Country? It is about 45 minutes from Hopewell. Thanks!

Remember this postcard that I previously posted? Does anyone know if there was any communication or instructions the following Saturday as they said there would be??

Yes, there was a ransom note received by Lindbergh on that Saturday. But it was postmarked from Brooklyn, NY on the preceding Friday at 9 PM. It contained the same "singature" as the nursery note and the same spellings and syntax expected from a writer familiar with the German language.
By contrast, the postcard image posted was posted at Auburn, NY (which is several hundred miles from NYC and has no geographic connection we know of to any of the other events or suspects in the case), does not contain anything suggesting a German language writer, and does not contain the "singature." Furthermore, it would be completely foolish for a perp to write to Lindbergh on a postcard, which expose him more readily to identification than sending the message in an envelope.
With all the other information on the case we know now, the most reasonable conclusion about that postcard is that it was written by a crank who had no other connection to the case.

But how would a crank know that a letter from the kidnappers would, indeed, arrive on Saturday March 5th just like the postcard said it would? I find that Auburn NY location interesting. I seem to recall reading something that when the NJSP sent handwriting samples of the ransom notes around to the various prisons to be checked against the handwriting of the imates, there was a response from a prison in Auburn NY saying that one of their inmates looked like a match. I don't know if this was ever followed up by LE.

I don't even know what attracted me to this postcard to begin with! This postcard doesn't look or sound like a prank, but instead looks like someone who is desperate to let the Lindberghs and the authorities know that the baby is OK!.It also looks like they added the word "BABY" after the fact.

Could be that the real ransom note letter writer had seen a copy of the crank postcard published in a newspaper and decided to time his ransom note with "signature" mailing so that it would get to CAL sr. on Saturday. That way he could assert that he was the guy to deal with and not the postcard writer. Or it could merely have been in a coincidence in timing.
Are you suggesting that an Auburn prison inmate may have written the postcard to Lindbergh? Seems like there would be no way someone imprisoned there on March 2, 1932 would have mailed out that postcard without suffering severe consequences, unless the prison mail pickup was corrupted.
If the postcard writer was imprisoned later at Auburn, that would make for an intriguing situation. In that event, it would be interesting to know what charge he was convicted of which led to his imprisonment.
If anyone has any further info on the possible Auburn Prison connection, please let us know.

No, I am not suggesting that a prision inmate wrote this postcard. I think the family that had the baby wrote it.

To aimee:
So are you possibly thinking that the writer of that postcard might have been your (foster) grandfather? Or, according to your theory and thinking, might it have been some intermediary who would later deliver Charlie to them? Do you know of any specific reason why your (foster) grandfather would have been in Auburn, NY on March 2, 1932?

Thanks Hurtelable, Yes, I believe that my "foster grandparents" and my great aunt wanted to let everyone know that the baby was actually O.K.. As for the visit to Auburn NY, my "grandfather" was traveling everywhere during that time to deliver moonshine. This included an aviation membership which leads me to believe that he had many ways to travel anywhere he needed to and big bucks to back him up. They replaced Charlie Jr. with their sick child who had TB, but they were not the ones calling the shots.

So are or were you able to compare the unknown writing on that postcard to known specimens of your foster grandfather's handwriting or to known specimens of any of your other foster relatives' handwriting? That would be the best way to identify your foster relative as author of the mysterious postcard.

Hi Hurtelable: I will try to explain what you are asking. The postcard came to my attention and I did indeed compare the handwritting. I have a Baby Book of my dads' that was amazingly handwritten by my "grandfather". Not only was the book filled out with my dad's middle name spelled incorrectly (another story for another time) but the blocked print is so simular to the postcard, that it is hard for me to compare it.(I would need an expert). I once again rub my eyes, wondering to myself, "What does it matter to any one anymore?" As I have said before, I don't know of any man who has filled out a babybook, with birthing facts to back up the origin of my dad. When I tried to find my grandfathers handwritting in any other note, letter or photo, I have come acrossed only type written letters. Typed only..on everything.

A Tribute to Mr. Moon Thank you Mr. Moon for being there for me, you are so predictable. I look towards the sky to find you, knowing that you will always be there.
You don’t judge my outlook, nor do you care. Your only thought is to fill the empty darkness with your light.
The ocean awaits your every move. The tides of the saltwater sometimes bitter sweet. The shifting of the waters makes me eager to have the night pass.
Your smile is one of comfort, dipping your head upon my shoulder. I wait for the answer to the question I have asked you before. You wink at me as if to tease me with your silence.
I look for you night after night, wishing I could play with the stars. A simple reminder that I am not the only one who is looking up at you, nor am I alone in seeing your beauty shinning through the night.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? Mr. Moon is a nickname that may dad gave to the moon. His energy is now trapped inside. Dad doesn’t judge me and appears as my “light”. Dad’s old photos and past has been revealing itself to me. It’s hard information to take, without his help. Mr. Moon sits in the sky but feels ever so close. Your lifelong question as to you being “The Lindbergh Baby” appears to be true, but I can’t talk to you now. I incredibly miss you, joking and playing around. I love you forever and so do others, recognizing how truly special you are.

To aimee:
I strongly suggest that you seek out a Certified Document Examiner (preferably more than one) who could compare the handwriting in the Baby Book and the postcard and give you an expert opinion if the writing was by the same individual. There would probably be some cost involved, but if the answer(s) is (are) "yes", you will probably have excellent opportunities if you are interested,

There were a number of postcards received that caught the attention of authorities because of similar printing and spelling. I am linking a newspaper page that has articles about these postcards. The highlighted article is about one of the cards. Check the other articles on this page and you will see one about the Auburn NY postcard you have been discussing. news.google.com/newspapers?id=pcYxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_-EFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4381%2C673980

Thanks for posting that postcard! I have not seen that one before. I see that it is postmarked March 7 from Newark. Was LE able to trace who sent this one and some of the others? The use of mostly printed capital letters seems to be a common thread among some of the early ones I have seen.

The use of mostly printed capital letters seems to be a common thread among some of the early ones I have seen. I am sure they investigated it, and I seem to recall that Farrer examined many of these. I remember at the time making a copy of this because of the one from Newark we always see on the internet. There's an entire collection of these threatening communications at the NJSP Archives, and while it's fun to look through, I would recommend researching other collections first. That's easy for me to say since I've already been through them myself but I honestly think there's nothing to them except people trying to cause chaos with the investigation for whatever sick reasons they had to do it.

To amy35 and aimee:
Thanks, amy35, for that link to the Reading newspaper images from 1932. It's always fascinating for me to read old newspapers from a bygone era to get an idea as to what people were doing and thinking back then and to compare their experiences with later times. I'm almost certain that the image of that Auburn, NY postcard appeared in other newspapers in the first week following the Lindbergh crime. The fact that there were other postcards mailed from NJ and elsewhere on the same day as the Auburn-postmarked card should not affect a handwriting comparison aimee can do between the Auburn postcard and the "Baby Book" known to have been written by her foster grandfather.

Wow..I am very pleased to see that there was a publication called "The Reading Eagle" in 1932!! The articles are pinpointing the postcards and they were even able to write about them!! The particular Auburn Postcard was put in front of me for a reason. Here's the thing...Everything that I have written about on my thread has all fit and none of it is made up. The handwriting is another piece of the puzzle that will help me firm up the facts when my dad's identity is known and identified. Getting a Professional to analyze the Postcard and Baby Book will not change anything at this point and will not help me prove the bottom line. Hopefully, my information will all make sense one day, so until then.. please continue posting articles and information that excite and amaze everyone!! Thanks Amy35 and Hurtelable!!

February 18th was my dad's Birthday. It will be a very hard day for me tomorrow, knowing that my dad isn't around to celebrate. My parent's Anniversary was on June 22, 1952. This was the day that my dad lit up with joy, as his true happiness began on the day that he married my mom. By the way, my dad loved to get gifts...even on Mother's day! lol ** Hello to everyone!

Hi Michael...you posted this a while ago. Now I understand why the second and third toes on the baby's LEFT FOOT weren't there....That would have proven that this baby was not Charlie Jr.!! Charlie's deformed 2nd and 3rd toes would have been overlapping and would have proven the baby's identity one way or another. Attachment Deleted See page 615.

Sibling DNA is measured differently than paternity DNA. The particular DNA samples that I had tested proved to be either half siblings or cousins. It is my belief that my dad and his sister were actually cousins and that my Great Aunt and (Dwight Jr.?) were the parents. It all began when Anne lost her baby in the high altitude flight.
