I understand that, and tend to believe there was more than one kidnapper involved, but I've never been 100% convinced by Trooper Wolf's report, or anyone else's. Wolf's description is, " apparently two sets of fresh foot prints leading off in a southeast direction." Clearly, he's inferring throughout his report that there were "kidnappers," but is this because he actually saw two sets of footprints that were both made by kidnappers, or is he assuming this because of his personal interpretation of what must have taken place? And he would also seem to corroborate De Gaetano's claim that the ladder was fully disassembled. There's more to consider than just Wolf. The position that more than one person walked away from the scene only evaporated due to the Prosecution's theory. Look at Williamson. Look at Kutcha. Etc. Look also at the 1932 "Richard Roe," "Peter Roe," and "Helen Doe" indictments. Think that was arbitrary? I know you read my books so are you forgetting this stuff? Yes, I've read your books, but once again no Index means not being able to find what you're looking for on a re-read. You may want to take my suggestion seriously by at least adding subsections to your Table of Contents to keep your readers out of the dark. Check out Judge Pearlman's book.. at least she got that part right.

Check out Judge Pearlman's book.. at least she got that part right. I've read many books over the years that do not have an index. Books like Waller, Whipple, and B&R. Major letters/reports like what I refer to as Wilson's Summary Report. And going back to them a second time around I took notes. Later, going through my notes I used them to create my own indexes. But other books that have indexes cause me to "cheat." What happens to all of the information in between? It gets lost. So what would you have me do again?

Just suggesting Michael, that some form of indexing helps to conveniently guide the reader to areas they would like to revisit for purposes of clarifying, cross-referencing, etc. It's a pretty standard part of any book relating to factual research. If you're not interested in doing that, you may at least want to consider Judge Pearlman's approach in "Suspect No. 1" where she sub-divides the Table of Contents chapters into defined sub-sections. As you've also presented your book contents in this format anyway, ie. smaller titled sections within each chapter, it would take a minimal effort on your part and probably save your readers a much larger amount of time trying to re-locate information they're seeking.
