Okay. This is a good place to start. There's no doubt in my mind he should be closely looked at and I am glad you are.
By doing so, you've outlined things to back that theory up. What I would do also, however, is to find the "cracks" in each point AND look for things that lead in the other direction to balance it out. Play Devil's Advocate yourself and also use this Board to help you bring in more positive and negative points to consider.
It could lead you to a totally different person, disqualify him from consideration, or shore up your theory even more then when you started.
My impression is that he was more like an informant. It also appears that he was one of those guys who wasn't loyal in that role either. Then he blew this whole thing up to bolster his own image. So he wasn't a highly respected person among the FBI. I personally believe they were attempting to distance themselves from him and would never vouch for him if he did something wrong. I absolutely positively believe with all of my heart that if he had something to do with this crime J. E. Hoover would not have covered for him.

Good strategy, and I will work on being my own critic. I am afraid though that part of my process is dismissing other theories, rather than critiquing my own. Two points that are sticking points in my mind re Noso's guilt, however, are Stroh and Dinny fingering Noso as planning a kidnapping and JJ Faulkner (Nosovitisky) actually cashing in some of the ransom money. Bruno is convicted in part for having the cash, but the fact that Faulkner has some also is ignored (ignored at least in determining that Bruno acted alone.) Does not wash. Here I am not sure Hoover actually covers for him -- although at an earlier point he provides a reference when Noso wants to go into the tire business, and they seem to be on friendly terms. Noso is a master at manipulating people and Hoover might have liked him both for their mutual "misfit" personalities and because Noso may in fact have offered Hoover info from time to time. Regarding Noso's involvement in the Lindbergh case, other agencies seem to be backing off of him being a suspect and as I recall, Hoover is kind of cut out of the picture by Schwartzcopf. It is the NYPD who are protecting Noso. A few more thoughts: The kidnapping involved more than one person (I think most people agree with this). Lots of suspicion that someone inside the household would need to be involved (I agree with this.) I think that the people inside the household (Whateley; maybe Sharpe) assumed it would be a kidnapping for ransom and the baby would be safely returned. Also kidnapping was not even a felony in NJ at the time, so, apart from disloyalty to their employer, they may not have seen it as overly serious to participate. That may have been the case for other conspirators -- with only the kingpin (Noso?) going for the actually killing, using acid to prematurely decay the body. I think that some of these people (especially household staff) would have been paid up-front, rather than being promised money as part of a ransom. If that is correct, where does this money come from. (Somewhat speculative here, but not improbable.) If Noso is the guy, I think he is working for an outside group, and faking that he is owed money by Morrow. If he were just acting on his own, I do not think he would have been so carefully shielded. So who wants to go after Lindbergh? Lindbergh's father made some very big enemies among the central bankers. I am not sure to what degree Lindbergh may have picked up some of his father's political inclinations, but he may have been viewed as a threat. The kidnapping is done possibly with a view to bringing forward nasty rumors when and if he ever decided to get serious about going into politics. O.K. -- Now I will work on shooting holes into my theory, painful as it is.

I wanted to post a document to help exemplify my earlier explanations about the "tangled web" situation that quite often existed in this case. We know Pelletreau was originally brought into this thing by Fawcett. Later, he volunteered his services to the Governor. Eventually, Hoffman's People disassociate themselves with him. He would re-surface working with J. J. McNally. McNally's "fame" came from his swearing out a Complaint against Nosovitsky which resulted in a Warrant for his arrest. McNally never gave up believing Nosovitsky was involved. Here's the "twist".... Both Pelletreau and McNally at the time this document was written, is now working for Wendel in some way. Since Wendel was considered "Public Enemy No. #1" we can see Hoffman is being warned to be careful of him: Key: " B" = " Boss" = " Governor Hoffman" " A" = " Authur Fagan" Part of the "fun" for me is finding these documents and "decoding" them. It's hard when you have no idea who anyone is but once you learn the Players it get much easier. Fagan was a PI who was a very important figure in the Ellis Parker/Wendel matter.
