and faked something similar before. The theory goes that something went wrong this time (dropped the kid?) and he had to cover it up. I find that hard to believe and think the eugenicist theory has more credibility if he was involved. I dont see how Bruno wasnt somehow involved unless someone planted the marked bills and lied that the wood from the ladder came from his attic (or maybe this has since been disproved). I guess thats possible if the NJ police was crooked.
