Then Captain Klein and ADA Ryan accompanied Amy to Mexico to find the alleged cabin.

No cabin was found.

What she did find during these travels was crowds of journalists and admirers hoping to hear her story in person.

Amy obliged over and over.

The thirst was insatiable.

Amy's story continued selling papers, though those papers still accused her of lying with increasingly better evidence.

An authority from the U.S.

Post Office told the New York Times that one of the ransom notes had been tampered with.

Someone changed the mail date to a date after Amy's memorial service, which just happened to bring in thousands of dollars in church donations.

Basically, Amy's church was accused of defrauding her own followers.

And it only added fuel to the fire when Captain Klein and ADA Ryan's investigation took a turn and convened a grand jury.

For those of us who don't know, a grand jury is a group of people who decide if there's enough evidence to bring a criminal matter to trial.

In Amy's case, the jury was composed of 17 men and two women.

Their stated goal was to investigate the kidnapping

and determine whether her kidnappers should be indicted.

But Amy's mother, Minnie, believed the real goal was to investigate her and her daughter for possible fraud.

She counseled Amy to avoid the grand jury, but Amy volunteered to testify.

The grand jury began on July 8th, 1926.

Amy wore the white gown and blue cape she often preached in.

Walking from her car into the grand jury, Amy heard hundreds of church members crying, hallelujah.
