Beskrivning

It is a crime even the FBI must have considered fantastic and absurd.In 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, heir to one of the wealthiest families in America, is snatched off the streets two blocks from his home. The boy is kept manacled in a pit, chained to a tree, and locked in a closet. The perps—a career bank robber, a petty thief, and his nineteen-year-old never-been-in-trouble Mormon wife—quickly become the targets of the biggest manhunt in Northwest history. The caper plays out like a Hollywood thriller with countless twists and improbable developments. Perhaps the most astonishing thing of all, though, is how it all ends.

Recensioner i media

"Soon after the Lindbergh kidnapping, and long before Patty Hearst, there was George Weyerhaeuser. Bryan Johnston's meticulous research brings alive the historical figures behind the snatch of a poor, rich boy and those people affected by it...including the victim! The Venn diagram for lovers of history, court dramas, and true crime investigations overlap at Deep in the Woods."
