Cemetery John

Robert Zorn, author of “Cemetery
John:  The Undiscovered Mastermind of the

Lindbergh Kidnapping” will present an author talk and book signing at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County
Library.  Zorn’s book was the basis of
the Nova documentary, “Who Killed Lindbergh’s Baby.” 


Decades
after 1932 when the kidnapping took place,
Zorn's father came to the startling
conclusion that as a 15-year-old boy growing up in the Bronx, he had witnessed
his German immigrant neighbor John Knoll conspiring with Hauptmann
to kidnap the Lindbergh baby.  Knoll, later lived in Toms River from 1972 until his death
in 1980.  Zorn will speak about his three-year-long
odyssey and the application of modern-day
criminal investigative analysis, including behavioral profiling, to the
evidence he and his late father uncovered.


Registration for the program begins March 17.   Please register in-person, by phone
