One evening in late September 1937, Charles S. Ross, the wealthy president of a greeting card company, was driving toward Chicago when he was pulled over and kidnapped at gunpoint by a pair of criminals. The ensuing investigation became one of the largest for the young FBI. The plot did not end well for Ross and one of the men who abducted him.
