Second suspect charged in theft of ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz'
Fox News
A second man has been charged in connection with the 2005 theft of a pair of ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in "The Wizard of Oz" after 76-year-old Terry Jon Martin pleaded guilty.
The slippers, adorned with sequins and glass beads, were stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in the late actor's hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, nearly 20 years ago and their whereabouts remained a mystery until the FBI recovered them in 2018.
The indictment says that from August 2005 to July 2018 Saliterman "received, concealed, and disposed of an object of cultural heritage" — specifically, "an authentic pair of ‘ruby slippers’ worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz.’" The indictment says Saliterman knew they were stolen, and that he threatened to release a sex tape of a woman and "take her down with him" if she didn’t keep her mouth shut about the slippers.
