About this listen
In May of 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser walked home for lunch from school in Tacoma, Washington.
He never made it.
Within hours, kidnappers demanded $200,000 for the return of the heir to one of America’s largest timber fortunes. What followed was a terrifying eight-day ordeal involving underground pits, coded newspaper messages, and one of the largest manhunts in the history of the Pacific Northwest.
In this episode of Same Crime, Different Time, we explore how the crime happened, how the kidnappers were caught, and what this case reveals about desperation, wealth, and justice in 1930s America.
