Second Man Charged in Theft of Judy Garland's 'Wizard of Oz' Ruby Slippers

The stolen slippers, valued at $3.5 million, were recovered in 2018 and will be auctioned after an international tour.

A second man, Jerry Hal Saliterman, has been charged in connection with the 2005 theft of Judy Garland's ruby slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Saliterman faces charges of theft of a major artwork and witness tampering, accused of concealing the stolen slippers and threatening a woman with a sex tape.
The slippers, valued at about $3.5 million, were recovered by the FBI in 2018, nearly 13 years after their theft from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
The slippers will go on an international tour before being auctioned in December, with stops in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Tokyo.
The stolen slippers are one of four known surviving pairs worn by Garland in the 1939 film, with others held by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Smithsonian Museum of American History
