Deep in the Woods: The Weyerhaeuser Kidnapping

In 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser , heir to one of the wealthiest families in America, is snatched off the street two blocks from his home. 

The boy is kept manacled in a pit, chained to a tree, and locked in a closet. 

The perpetrators-- a career bank robber, a petty thief, and his 19-year-old Mormon wife-- quickly become targets of the biggest manhunt in northwest history.

Join author Bryan Johnston as he shares how the caper plays out like a Hollywood thriller with multiple twists and a shocking ending.
