Recently, a history teacher, a retired teacher and a developmental psychologist filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey State Police seeking access to the ransom notes sent to Charles and Anne Lindbergh after their baby was abducted in 1932. The plaintiffs want access to this evidence so they can submit the stamps and adhesives for forensic testing to possibly identify others involved in the crime and prove a conspiracy.

I have long urged the testing of the “Allen” letter, envelope and stamp in the OCCK case, most recently to the Oakland County Prosector’s Office who has to act as a go-between because the Michigan State Police refuse to interact with me or my family. Testing the adhesive on the stamp and envelope for DNA is much more specific than testing the two-page letter or the envelope that was probably handled by many people along the way.
As described in Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, The Search for a Child Killer (McIntyre, Tommy, (1988), Chapter 28), “Allen” sent the following letter to psychiatrist Dr. Bruce Danto at his Detroit office. Postmarked Detroit, April 4 1977, this message was typed under the address, across the bottom of the envelope: “MOST VERY IMPORTANT MOST URGENT MOST URGENT PLEASE.”
McIntyre does not specify if the letter was handwritten or typed, but it appears from the context that the letter was typewritten:
Dr. Danto
I am dsperite and nearly gone crazy and havnt got no place left to turn. I am going to comit suicide if you cant help me. Please dont give up the killer to the police. You must help me as there is no one else I cant turn to. This is for real I know who the killer is, I live with him I am his slave. He whips me and beats me all the time. And he will kill me if he finds out that I have written this letter. I have been with him in his car when we go out looking for boys but I swear I have never never never been with him when he picks up the ones he killed But I amin it in it so deep I am just as juilty to the law as he is I stayed with them here here right here in our apartment during the day while he is working. That makes me just as guilty. And no one can hear them as they gagged all the time. You know he brings them in stuffed inclothes hamper no one here knows the differences. You keep saying Oakland county not true. He has delivery rout in Oakland and Birmingham places but we live in detroit. You want to know people in this building? Primps and hookers and fags, you name it. Like on Gremlin he had it sure Grimlin until last boy but no one stops him in Detroit. He junk it out in Ohio to never be found ever.

Tell you something else he killed lots of little kids then with medals for it. Burned them to death bombed them with napalm it’s real becautiful there doc. He wants the rich people like people in Birmingham to suffer like all of us suffered to get nothing back for what we did for out country. Hes not a monster like you think he really loves children especially that little girl for 3 weeks not doing it because he hates childrens but doing it because he hates everybody else out there and this be his way to get even and get back at everybody.

I shouldn8t ever never helped but trapped too late helped him stay uncaught, I am just as guilty as he is. I cant go on like this I fell I like to die.

If you be real doctor you must help me.

The MSP has paid many, many detectives to either churn or simply sit on the OCCK cases for almost five decades. Here’s a constructive project for your state lab, especially if they refuse to rerun the kids’ clothing for DNA. Arguing the letter was a hoax as a way to avoid testing the stamp and envelope adhesive is just more gaslighting. And it’s on your dime, not mine. The technology is there. Step up.
