Celebrity even indirectly like this one attracts attention
It’s just life

If someone famous in 1800 is kidnapped it’d draw more attention too just coverage more delayed

“Celebrity even indirectly like this one attracts attention

There were an estimated 3,000 kidnappings in America in 1932.

But only one was famous and it is still remembered today, the kidnapping and murder of Lindbergh’s infant son.

And that’s entirely due to Lindbergh being an international celebrity for his solo flight across the Atlantic.
