Father Swindled For Lost Baby In Norristown Case
A Pennsylvania father, George H. Coughlin, was duped out of 12000 by a man dubbed the crank who claimed to return his 13 month old son from a June 2 crib theft. Police and Coughlins now suspect revenge rather than kidnap for ransom as investigators press a lead from Norristown Chief Charles Eller.
