Summary

In May of 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, the heir to a lumber fortune, was taken off the street in broad daylight three blocks form his home in Tacoma, Wash. The kidnapping sparked what the New York Times called "the greatest manhunt in the history of the Northwest." Tim Pham, an anchor and reporter with KREM 2 News, shares his reporting on the story, including a conversation with Bryan Johnston, author of "Deep in the Woods: The 1935 Kidnapping of Nine-Year-Old George Weyerhaeuser, Heir to America’s Mightiest Timber Dynasty."
