The thing that really fascinates me is the DNA on the envelopes. I think it's been proven that Hauptmann couldn't have mailed all of them so obviously someone else was involved. If Anna were alive today, she'd have a very very good case for getting a court order for the envelopes to be tested. I know that over the years the NJSP has taken a beating by many on various issues. Some deserved, especially back during the crime, it's investigation, the trial, and it's immediate aftermath. Once certain people started stepping forward with questions concerning whether or not they were actually the Lindbergh child, more questions and skepticism arose. But this was a "new" version of the NJSP. Sure no one wants their organization to look badly, even though they would have had nothing to do with it, however, they truly weren't "hiding" things they thought might. It was during this time the NJSP deserves credit for was using whatever technology they could to assist with the evidence. For example, with the Ransom Note fingerprints, the NJSP brought them to the FBI to be examined with laser fluorescents to see if any of the partial prints could be enhanced. That was a brand new technology at that time, and this action shows me they wanted to the truth and were confident in whatever unknowns would be revealed. They also employed a private company named CAL SPAN who, at the time, had a state of the art fingerprint comparison computer program. It was this technology which was used to search all prints against the latents they had. My guess is that if the DNA evidence technology existed back then as it does now Col. Pagano would had the testing done on behalf of the NJSP itself.

I have a question for you Michael. It concerns the Sheridan Theatre/Cecile Barr ransom bill event November 26, 1933. The way this is explained in Fisher's book is different from how I have read it in other books.
In Chapter 18, page 180, Fisher talks about this man who tosses a folded $5.00 ransom bill at Cecile Barr to buy a movie ticket. That I have read before. What I have never read before is that Fisher has Barr and this man engage in a brief conversation at which time Barr notices this man has a heavy German accent. Fisher then says that Cecile Barr identifies this man using the Berryman sketch. Fisher had a footnote for this on page 444 note #4. His source is Alan Hynd's article in True Detective Mysteries, January 1935 entitled "The Real Story Behind the Lindbergh Capture".
Everything I have read on this Sheridan Theatre incident has never mentioned a conversation taking place between Barr and this man, the existence of a german accent or the Berryman Sketch ID of the man who bought the ticket.
Have you read Hynd's article? I was wondering what his source was for these details Fisher mentions.

That is, he is inventing a conversation to "spice up" the account. This is probably why Fisher blows off the Police Reports and uses Hynd's account instead. Or it could be he just didn't feel like doing the proper research then simply went with what he had. We'll probably never know for sure.
