There are many strange things about this case. One is that a leading politician wanted to re-open the case. The Lindberg family got in a huff and left the country at the thought of it. It ended the career of the politician because everyone identified with the parents.

In my opinion, leaving the country was a definite sign of unease over a new investigation. If someone murdered my child, I would want all the information. I would not leave the country in a snit.

Thanks for providing the additional info.

I did a quick search and found this "review" of the 1994 "sister" theory at a site called CrimeLibrary:

"While the writing is quite good, and the accounting of the facts of the crime reasonably complete, Behn has no evidence for his theory, and admits to its speculative character."

Honestly, I think it pretty mean of the author to malign poor Elisabeth Morrow in this way without a shred of evidence, for the sake of selling a juicy story...she was sickly and died young of a heart ailment. A sad enough life without tacking on lurid speculation.

I suspect there will always be wondering about the unanswered questions surrounding the tragedy, but unless and until someone can come up with some concrete facts to go along with this particular theory, this one goes in the "fantasy" category, IMHO.

Like the Jon Benet case, there are some big questions left unanswered. I am not on one side or the other with the Eaglet case.

OK.
