Can you imagine being kidnapped? “The Kidnappers” by Willo Davis Roberts and “ The case of the missing socks” by Lewis Montgomery were both great books. The plot in “The Kidnappers" was more interesting than in “ The case of the missing socks”. The plot is better because it was more intriguing, had more twists, and it had more events in it. The first reason the plot was better in “The kidnappers” was because it was more intriguing than in “ The case of the missing socks”. In the book, Willie gets kidnapped right in front of the school.

In “The case of the missing socks”, it is only about taking socks and “The kidnappers” is about kids getting kidnapped. These reasons are more intriguing in “The Kidnappers” than in “The case of the missing socks”. …show more content…

The first piece of evidence I have is when Joey got kidnapped. This is not what i thought would happen so that is why i think it was a twist. The next piece of evidence is that Ernie was the boss of the kidnappers. You would not expect it because he worked with the Bishops and they trusted him. In “The case of the missing socks” it does not have twists so exciting like “The Kidnappers is. I know this because I read the book and it is more them finding clues that are not exciting. These reasons show more twists in “The kidnappers” than in “The case of the missing

There are a few differences that could have been made throughout the investigation. One key factor would be calling authorities before Dr. Condon went and met “John”. In my opinion, he should have been working with the local police first before going to meet the man who called himself “John”, this would have helped tremendously in identifying and capturing the kidnapper sooner. To me, it seems that Hauptmann was ultimately caught on accident, based on his own carelessness for using a gold certificate for gas. It is unclear if the abduction could have been prevented.
