Case File | Machine Gun Kelly and the Woolverton Kidnapping
About this episode
In January 1932, Howard Woolverton and his wife were run off the road by some thugs, who grabbed Howard and drove away. They held him for ransom in a plot that captured the nation's attention. But just who was behind the scheme has never been conclusively proven. Erik Rivenes speaks with author Kevin Meredith about the kidnapping, and why the world thinks Machine Gun Kelly is the one to blame.
