Means conned anyone he could, and the book credited to him "the Strange Death of President Harding" was actualy ghost written by Mae thingyer Thacker, a tabloid journalist who he also conned out of the proceeds. Could it be that we are observing CAL to kindly, and since CAL had given his blessing to Evalyn pursueing the Means Project, could it be CAL stood to gain from the con?
McClain, Gaston Means, Lindbergh, and if there actualy was a kidnap? You could buy a house back then for under two thousand. This $50,000.00 dollars would have been a lot of money for that era, but others were suspecting family foul play not being convinced by the staged events at various cemetaries. People in general wondered why for the straggleing Dr. Fu Man Chu style episodes of ransom negotiations, and for the reason those negotiations had even ignored the New York Times offer of $250,000.00 dollars? One such group from Washington was Mrs. Evalyn McLean who ventured into kidnapper negotiation why would the kidnapper ignore their $100,000.00 dollar offer for the measly $50,000.00 dollar offer from Lindbergh? This in itself shrouds the whole kidnap story with make believe situations Lindbergh could selectivly turn off while his son life hung in the balance with the claimed kidnap? This is hard to believe, and suggests Lindbergh was actualy in control.
It doesn't make sense for the kidnapper to hold out nearly a month for the least amount of money offered for the child? Why would someone plan for a year to kidnap someone then not have an active plan for excange for money? The fact there was no communication for nearly a week creates misstrust of the kidnap story itself, and together with giving Rosner nursry note copies opened the case up for multiple exortion plots that rattled off one fantasy melodrama after another, and which Lindbergh played out their extortion dramas to the fullest extent.
