The first attempt at a ransom drop was disrupted, when two policemen drove by. Krist and Eisemann-Schier demanded and received a $500,000 ransom from Barbara Jane’s father. Two plastic pipes provided Mackle with outside air. The box was outfitted with an air pump, a battery-powered lamp, water laced with sedatives, and food. They drove her to a remote area near South Berkeley Lake Road near Duluth and buried Mackle in a shallow trench inside of a fiberglass-reinforced box. Once inside, Krist and his accomplice, Ruth Eisemann-Schier, disguised as a man, chloroformed, bound and gagged Mackle's mother and forced Barbara Jane at gunpoint into the back of their waiting car, informing her that she was being kidnapped. A stranger, Gary Steven Krist, knocked on the door claiming to be with the police, and told Mackle that a friend Stewart Hunt Woodward had been in a traffic accident.

People love coming to the town and walking through a fairy tale. The real town of Hamelin in Lower Saxony, Germany, uses the legend as part of its tourist economy involving guided tours, themed meals at restaurants and multiple reenactment venues. It’s not the most popular tale in the genre, but it is one that has stuck around for centuries. The children are led away to the same location of the rats, never to be seen again. The Piper then starts playing again except this time it is the children of the town that are entranced. The Piper returns to Hamelin and the town refuses to pay him. The man entrances the rats with his music and leads them away, whether that’s to a watery grave or in the version I remember, to a set of caves outside of town. The man offers to get rid of the rats for a fee. One day, a man shows up, often described as flamboyantly dressed and carrying a flute of some sort. You might know the Brothers Grimm version, the Robert Browning poem or as is my recent experience, the Disney version, “Pied Piper Mickey.” Whichever version you’re familiar with, they all follow more or less the same pattern.īack in fairy tale times, the town of Hamelin had a rat problem.

Polish Army records show that Rawicz left the USSR directly for Iran in 1942, which contradicts the book's storyline. Soviet records confirm that Rawicz was a Polish soldier imprisoned in the USSR, but differ from The Long Walk in detail on the reasons for his arrest and the exact places of imprisonment. Gliński's claims have been questioned by various sources. In May 2009, Witold Gliński, a Polish WWII veteran living in the UK, came forward to claim that the story of Rawicz was true, but was actually an account of what happened to him, not Rawicz. In 2006, BBC released a report based on former Soviet records, including "statements" allegedly written by Rawicz himself, showing that Rawicz had been released as part of the 1942 general amnesty of Poles in the USSR and subsequently transported across the Caspian Sea to a refugee camp in Iran and that his escape to India never occurred. In a ghost-written book called The Long Walk, he claimed that in 1941 he and six others had escaped from a Siberian Gulag camp and walked over 6,500 km (4,000 mi) south, through the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and the Himalayas to finally reach British India in the winter of 1942. Slavomir Rawicz ( Sławomir Rawicz) was a Polish Army lieutenant who was imprisoned by the Soviets after the German-Soviet invasion of Poland. |
