mike have your book, don't like your comment that you solved a mystery in the wood evidence. what mystery? both boards match that's what we are concentrating on for 30 years. a lot of rehashed stuff in the book, because ive been looking at the case since 1992, this stuff will be a surprise on the newly people studying the case on this board.

I am going to go out on a limb and say you haven’t actually read the entire chapter on the wood yet. If you had I don’t think you would have any objection to my point. I’ve used all sources. Some no one has ever seen before, and some that are known. Why? Because all are needed in order to get the complete and undeniable picture. And when I say some weren’t known, that would include you too. I know this because documents sealed with rusty staples and paper clips weren’t open prior to 1992 - or prior to the time they were probably sealed shut in the late 1930s honestly.

I read the entire chapter it does not prove that both pieces of wood were not the same. kelvin found pictures of the ladder before hauptmann was arrested and when he did the comparison it was the same wood. for years I had to hear the wood was planted, you know how much of a task that would have been? I think you went on a limb to say you solved a mystery that wasn't there in the first place

I think you went on a limb to say you solved a mystery that wasn't there in the first place Some of what you've written actually supports my claim so I think you are suffering from a bit of tunnel vision. To recap: Ever since I've been researching there have been two schools of thought. Either the evidence was 100% on the level or the police planted it. Now there are reasons for this aren't there? The issues creating this debate existed because of unanswered questions. Now 99% of them ARE answered. To YOUR point, from the year 2000 up to the publishing of this book, we've all had to hear about how the police were completely on the level and that Hauptmann had crawled into his attic - then cannibalized his attic floor to make Rail 16. But NONE of that is true, and I used everything I've accumulated over the last two decades which I believe prove the real situation. Since this was never your position then HERE is my answer. The only caveat is the possibility of a new source being discovered. I made sure to emphasize this in several places in my book. Part of writing all of them was to encourage research, or the possibility of someone sharing something they may have discovered in their closet, attic, crawl space, or cubby hole. Or perhaps found or will find in an Archive that hasn't been thoroughly searched. I'm not trying to shut down the conversation, I am trying to bring more people into it. Just look at how much Rab, Kevin, and Kelvin's (as well as others) research and/or ideas assisted in bringing about the total solution. But unless I missed something in the NJSP Archives, which I highly doubt, we now know everything there is to know from all sources there.

I don't think so Doesn't seem very logical for a man skilled at carpentry who is making a ladder to take one rail for the ladder from the floor of of his attic and take the rest of the ladder wood from other sources. This, together with the generally poor quality of the ladder, would be suggestive of non-skilled individual constructing the ladder OR a skilled individual at least temporarily demented OR a serious time deadline issue for the ladder's construction.

mike I believe he went in that attic and cut that piece of wood. you think a real wood expert is going to change his mind after reading your book? I don't think so Yes I do. Besides, what does being an expert in anything have to do with knowing whether Hauptmann actually crawled into that attic? Koehler himself testified that a carpenter wouldn't do something that was done concerning that board (See page 395 of V3). Do you consider him a real expert? If so - there's his very own testimony to consider. And so, I believe anyone - no matter what their profession - will consider what I've found and see that it explains everything that happened up there. After that, once properly applied, all the mysteries become cleared up. I don't know for sure, but it appears to me that you didn't read this chapter thoroughly, or you're simply rejecting it because its not what you want to believe.

I wanted to quickly point out a mistake that I made on page 259. There I accidentally swapped the chisel sizes concerning Highfields and Hauptmann's tool chest. Since everyone reading it will immediately spot the error and due to the fact I correctly referred to them prior thereto, I don't expect any confusion. However, the "boo-birds" are already out in force, so I expect they'll point it out to somehow suggest I'm an idiot, don't know the difference or some other tactic because it's their only recourse.
Facts are facts. Remember that I wrote the book - not the source documentation. So if someone says I'm "wrong" about anything simply check my footnotes. As it concerns errors such as the one above that's on me. I cannot tell you how many times I read through this trying to avoid these types of issues.

Thanks! The books are the only way that I know of to get the new information out there so it can be fully considered. I look forward to our discussions and/or debates about it all. I know there's a ton, and what's worse is that I still don't even have my copy yet. Anyway, some really crazy stuff but its all true. As it relates to the chisel evidence I think its pretty disgusting what happened there. Same with the handles. They weren't the same. In fact they were completely different. Hauptmann's 1/4" was made flat on purpose, but the 3/4" found at Highfields was broken from being battered. You'll notice in the linked picture the 3/4" handle is turned away in the photo. www.nj.gov/state/archives/images/slcsp001/SLCSP001_22.jpg

I am reading the wood evidence chapter now and need to get my thoughts together on this. It is a very detailed and revealing chapter! I am especially troubled by Koehler and how he made initial findings and then flip-flopped his positions on these findings when he testified at the Hauptmann trial. This is deliberate deceitfulness. The chisel is one of those areas Koehler reversed himself on to aid Wilentz in getting a conviction. No wonder there are people that view Hauptmann as being railroaded by Wilentz and his prosecution witnesses!!!!

The chisel is one of those areas Koehler reversed himself on to aid Wilentz in getting a conviction. No wonder there are people that view Hauptmann as being railroaded by Wilentz and his prosecution witnesses!!!! You see the patterns that emerge? Things "written off" at the time which are, ex post facto, fully embraced later once Hauptmann is arrested. Then, in order to make them seem even more impactful - they backdate their discoveries or lie about exactly "when" they supposedly believed them and never mention they were ever doubted or dismissed. They're also having their cake and eating too. For example, the chisel found at Highfields being sharp and sharpened that way by a highly skilled person. That fact was accepted by all, while at the same time we're told Hauptmann was a poor carpenter who didn't properly sharpened his tools. Yet they testify that it was HIS chisel? And move around and tamper with evidence to stage what was actually in his tool box. And they were ALL on board with it. People can no longer say authorities did not frame evidence because the reports and other source documentation prove it. Now, like I wrote in V3, some might say they "understand" why they did it, but it does not make it right. What Koehler should have done was be truthful. Tell the jury that he didn't originally believe he traced Rails 12 & 13 but then revisited it after Hauptmann was arrested and the reason why he changed his mind. But to lie about it? The Chisel. Rails 12 & 13. The Bracket. S-226. Each was tainted by lies and misrepresentation. Koehler, Bornmann, Wilentz, etc. They were all involved in that game.

The more you get into the LKC, the more Koehler appears to be very typical government bureaucrat, willing to lie to (metaphorically) kiss the hands of those who feed him. He was very much aware of which side his bread was buttered on. Never mind that a man would be eventually put to death, Koehler and others fed off the lynch-mob atmosphere in Flemington to boost himself into celebrity status.
Unfortunately, the same mindset exhibited by Koehler, the deep state careerist, continues to be all to common up until present times, especially in Washington and the state capitals.

My head is just spinning right now as a result of reading this explosive chapter. The collusion that went on between all these people is staggering!!! You have done an incredible job with this chapter. There is no excuse or rational that can explain any of this away!

Koehler actually thought he should receive the $25,000 reward money that the state of New Jersey was offering for this crime. He actually wrote a letter stating such! Unbelievable!!!

Volume 3 is explosive. A head spinner. It is very likely the vol 3 requires us to look at everything ALL once again.
I say this from someone who does not agree on everything that seems to be assumed from many that post here regularly.

im not a boo bird mike when something does not make sense to me I question it I wasn't referring to you Steve. Besides, I'd never use the term "Boo-Bird" to describe you regardless. SOB maybe, but never "Boo-Bird" ... Seriously though, I have no problem with legitimate challenges and/or disagreements and yours are and have been always sincere. However, I recommend that you read everything. What happened in that attic was happening everywhere else too. So to say it didn't happen there and leave all the questions open ended as a result is what doesn't really work if you think about it. Volume 3 is explosive. A head spinner. It is very likely the vol 3 requires us to look at everything ALL once again. I say this from someone who does not agree on everything that seems to be assumed from many that post here regularly. Thanks Gary. I know a lot of it seems unbelievable but I couldn't have made it up if I tried. Actual fiction wouldn't compare to what really happened. I hope this isn't "information overload" and I can say that I didn't put anything in as "filler." So if something seems trivial I want everyone to consider this point. An example is the "da vinci" painting... Crazy as hell right? But what I immediately wanted to know was "who" the party was that planned to buy it? Police never made an effort to find out. Someone who is an expert in art may know that answer - so some day we could actually find out. Is it important? That can't be known until we find out then research that person or persons. Once again, I know so many people like to dismiss certain angles as a way to short cut through the material. HUGE mistake! Just look at Vaclav Simek as one brief example. One could easily say " oh he wasn't involved" then skip over it. But, as I believe I've proven in both V2 and V3, information contained in that investigation is very useful despite that he personally was not involved.

Koehler in his letter to Hoffman states that: "4. I also determined that the 3/4-inch chisel found in Colonel Lindbergh's premises on the night of the kidnaping was of the same make and pattern, with the handle made of the same kind of wood and turned to the same pattern as a 1/4-inch chisel in Hauptmann's possession at the time of his arrest. " Now can someone please clarify this for me? IIRC, Hauptmann, while in prison, was overheard speaking to one of his attorneys and being adamant about the chisel found at Highfields being from a DIFFERENT manufacturer than the chisel set found in his premises when he was arrested. In other words, there appeared to be no link between the chisel found in Highfields and any chisel in his possession at the time of arrest. Yet somehow, Koehler spun this as if the chisel found at Highfields originated with Hauptmann. Did the Hauptmann defense ever argue to the contrary that the chisel grom Highfields did NOT place him at the scene of the crime or did they let Koehler get away with his trickery?

Hopefully the section on the chisel in V3 will clear this up for you although sometimes I "outsmart" myself by including too much information that can become confusing in places. The Stanley set was supposed to include a 3/4" chisel. Hauptmann's 1/4" was a BB like the 3/4" BB found at Highfields. Over the years its been said that they were "uncommon" but I think my book destroys that notion. Aside from possibly its sharpness, there was nothing else to connect the two. But Koehler added in the handles as another similarity although they were not the same aside from possibly being their originals from the factory.

So, I am not a "wood" person and do not understand wood construction but I do have a couple questions about SS 226 and Rail 16 which comprised board number 27 in Hauptmann's attic.
If I am understanding correctly what I have read in the Wood Evidence chapter in V3, board number 27 was supposed to be the "toe" board against which all the other boards laid in the attic were driven against. If I am mistaken about this, please correct me.
If board number 27 was indeed a toe board, was the nailing down of this board done differently than all the other boards? Did this board have more nails driven into it than all the other floor boards up in that attic? Was this ever looked at and noted by Bornmann or Koehler or any other officer that went up in that attic? If so, wouldn't this nailing make it very difficult for Bornmann to pull this board up with his hand himself? Bornmann had two police carpenters up there with him according to his many reports about that day. Why not have them remove the board for him?
Did any of the other officers present when this attic board discovery was made (Tobin, Cramer, Enkler) write any reports about it?

If I am mistaken about this, please correct me. Correct. If board number 27 was indeed a toe board, was the nailing down of this board done differently than all the other boards? Did this board have more nails driven into it than all the other floor boards up in that attic? Was this ever looked at and noted by Bornmann or Koehler or any other officer that went up in that attic? If so, wouldn't this nailing make it very difficult for Bornmann to pull this board up with his hand himself? Bornmann had two police carpenters up there with him according to his many reports about that day. Why not have them remove the board for him? Yes. It was the first board laid, and had more nails to secure it so the rest could fit in tight with one another up against it. The toe board is probably best described as an "anchor" board. That's how I look at it and if Kevin was around he'd probably be able to better describe it than I can. Because of all of those nails, what you mention about the "difficulty" was raised by both Loney and Hoffman which I mentioned in V3. Your 2nd question is also an important one and makes little sense that he'd do that when two very capable people standing next to him could have made it easier and without the possibility of damage. While the nail holes weren't damaged, as we would expect, S-226 did "snap" at the very end of it where there was a knot. So that needs to be considered and I think shows that someone probably did pull it up at some point. Of course that doesn't mean it happened as he said it did or most especially "when" he said it did either. But your question about "why" he'd do this with seasoned and experienced carpenters there, exactly for this reason, is a good one because it makes little sense. This sketch made by Ho-age shows the "break" at "B" on the diagram. (BTW: this broken piece is at the archives so you can check it out if you want): imgur.com/kzwrrvA Did any of the other officers present when this attic board discovery was made (Tobin, Cramer, Enkler) write any reports about it? I cannot say. What I can say is they are not at the NJSP Archives. These are the types of things that could one day turn up in an attic or closet that I've posted about earlier ... that is if they were ever written in the first place. But its hard to say. Most of the NY reports were attached to the NJSP reports but not being so here doesn't mean beyond all doubt they were never written. It's part of the reason why I've written my books .... to inspire others to do research themselves and perhaps find new material to consider.
