THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 8, 1928
* Albert Fish kidnaps Grace Budd
* Serial killer, child rapist and cannibal
* "The Boogey Man" - "Gray Man"
* "Brooklyn Vampire" - "Werewolf of Wysteria"
* Woman aviator Amelia Earhart
* About to make history
* Airplane "Friendship"
Page 27 has a one column heading: "DEATH HINT SPURS HUNT FOR BUDD GIRL" with subheads. (see)
Less than 13 months after Charles Lindbergh's heralded accomplishment, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to achieve the feat. The top of page 4 has a one column heading: "FRIENDSHIP FAILS THRICE TO TAKE OFF" with subheads. (see) Weather would delay her from finishing the journey for more than a week.
Complete with all 52 pages, a little irregular along the spine, nice condition.
Background: On June 3, 1928, ten-year-old Grace Budd was abducted from her Manhattan home by serial killer Albert Fish—operating under the alias "Frank Howard"—marking one of the most haunting cases in American criminal history. Dubbed by the press as "The Boogey Man," the "Gray Man," the "Brooklyn Vampire," and the "Werewolf of Wysteria" (referencing the Westchester site where he committed the horrific murder), Fish slipped under police radar for six years due to his unassuming, grandfatherly appearance. The turning point occurred in 1934 when he sent an anonymous, graphic confession letter to Grace’s mother, allowing Detective William King to trace the envelope's stationery emblem directly to Fish's rooming house.
