Kidnapping of Lindbergh baby

Ransom is payed

The ransom was put in a wooden box that was custom-made in the hope that it could later be identified. The ransom money itself was made up with a number of gold certificates that were to be withdrawn from circulation in the near future. It was hoped that anyone passing large amounts of gold notes would draw attention to himself and trace down the kidnappers. Also, while the bills themselves were not marked, the serial number of each bill was recorded.

The next evening, April 2, Condon was given a note by an unknown cab driver. Condon met "John" and told him that they had been able to raise only $50,000. The man accepted the money and gave Condon a note. The child was supposedly on the boat called "Nellie" on the shore of Massachusetts in the care of two women who, according to the note, were innocent. But this was last contact from kidnappers. Police searched for the boar, Charles Lindbergh spent a lot of time flying around the area hoping to find "Nellie", but without any luck.
