Didn't anyone ever wonder why there was no investigation into the Mersman Table confession? A simple fact to investigate such a confession, since the furniture dealer bought it new, so either a compny employee did it as a joke or perhap one of the remaing trails would go to the furniture dealer or the salesman. I don't think we would have needed Sherlock Holmes to figure it out, but why did they hide this lead and trivialize it, when the FBI dug up a farm yard looking for gold certificates, and the bank bag which never got a mention in the original fancy box fairy tale. I know that the FBI did investigate the Mersman Salesman, but because of inter agency jealousy and Lindbergh excluding significant finds along with the bones it never reached the experts who were too hot on their novel trails to bother with details.
If you look at the reasoning behind the table confession you need accept that the person who wrote it had a story version that did not lay sole blame for Charley's dissapearance on the writer, and someone within the case inner circle shared that blame. That same person was able to trivaialize the confession to place the table within the museum lost and found intending that it never be seen.
