"Retired Mobster Uses Sex Tape for Leverage in 'Wizard of Oz' Ruby Slippers Heist: Court Docs"

A 76-year-old man, Jerry Hal Saliterman, has been indicted for witness tampering and theft of a major artwork in connection to the 2005 theft of the iconic ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz." He allegedly used a sex tape to silence a woman who knew about the heist and promised to implicate her if she spoke. Another suspect, Terry Jon Martin, 76, was previously found guilty of smashing the slippers' display case and was spared prison time due to declining health. Only four pairs of the ruby slippers worn by Garland have been authenticated.
