Mattson kidnapping case echoes past high profile abductions
Federal agents traced footprints and tire tracks from the Mattson boy kidnapping in Tacoma Washington, drawing comparisons to the Lindbergh and Weyerhauser cases. Investigators, aided by a statewide manhunt, examined an abandoned shack on Squaxin Island and a found launch as they pursued possible suspects while the Mattson family communicated through a series of classified ads seeking ransom. The case drew public appeals for help as authorities linked the crime scene to the Franklin mansion investigation and noted the ransom note carried no family names.
