Announcements:
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, March 17th @ 7:00pm at the Delran Township Municipal Building.
Marisa Bozarth, Museum Curator, History from the Burlington County Division of Parks will be presenting, “Ellis Parker and The Lindbergh Kidnapping”. It is a fascinating story.
If you don’t know, Ellis Howard Parker Sr. (September 12, 1871 – February 4, 1940) was an American law enforcement officer. Parker was the Chief County Detective for Burlington County, New Jersey, for forty years. His reputation for solving challenging crimes led to him being popularized as the “American Sherlock Holmes”.
Parker conducted a personal investigation into the Lindbergh kidnapping.
