Miss Teresa Derci, 21, of Wertsville, N.J., walks near her home as she pointed out tracks of an automobile which she believes may have some bearing of the Lindbergh kidnapping case, March 17, 1932. Miss Derci said three men in an automobile stopped near her home on Feb. 22 and asked the way to the Lindbergh home. It was deduced by some observers that the planning of the kidnapping may have been made that day, although the Lindbergh baby was at the Morrow home in Englewood, N.J., at the time. (AP Photo)
