The 1874 Charley Ross Kidnapping

4 year old Charley Ross and his 6 year old brother Walter had been playing in front of their home on a hot July morning in Germantown, Philadelphia, when they were approached by a horse and buggy driven by two strange men. The men offered them candy, and then came back the next day, and the next, slowly building the boys' trust in them before abducting little Charley. As I say repeatedly in this case, there are so many questions in this case and I definitely feel like I have more questions than answers. Don't forget to let me know your thoughts and theories on this case - I go back and forth on mine! I hope you enjoyed today's historical, bonus mini-sode and I will be back soon with another exciting case. Stay safe!
