Grave for Bobby

Only half the $600,000 ransom paid to soon-to-be-executed criminals Carl Hall and Bonny Heady was recovered after the 1953 kidnapping and murder of six-year-old Bobby Greenlease in St. Louis, Mo. According to PW , ``This flat, occasionally tedious volume. . . . concludes that the loot was seized by a corrupt cop and a low-level Mafioso and found its way into the hands of the Chicago mob.''
