We travel back to 1874 Germantown/Philadelphia, PA and tell the story of the kidnapping of Charley Ross, a four year-old, and the first time a ransom note had ever happened in the United States, and how it reverberated through history. But why were all 22 notes in someone's basement? Oh, and get ready for a MouthGarf Report... AND some I See What You Did There."}
