Here is a nice little entry on this little known event concerning the case: A Roanoke footnote to Lindbergh baby case Roanoke Times by Tom Angleberger Monday, May 26, 2008 As unbelievable as it sounds, someone really had sent letters to Charles Lindbergh threatening another kidnapping. And, yes, two Roanokers were charged with the crime. But, as articles from the Roanoke Times' archives show, the plots of both the criminals and the police were foiled. (My thanks to Roanoke Times archivist Belinda Harris for unearthing the reports.) At that time, the kidnapping and murder of Lindbergh's son, Charles Lindbergh Jr., was less than a year old and still unsolved. www.roanoke.com/columnists/angleberger/wb/163346

Read about that a while back, and thought they should have let the guy keep the money - hey who gambled. Interestingly the subject of Roanoke just came up yesterday and Sir Walter was discussed some.
