https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/04/entertainment/wizard-of-oz-stolen-ruby-slippers-found/index.html(CNN)Glinda, the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz," says it best when she describes the appeal of those ruby red slippers to the Wicked Witch of the West:
"Their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn't want them so badly."
And so, for 13 years, the fate of a missing pair of red sequined slippers worn by actress Judy Garland as Dorothy has eluded law enforcement. But there's no place like home, as they say, and the shoes have been found, according to the FBI.
On Tuesday afternoon, authorities intend to reveal details of the shoes' recovery at the FBI Minneapolis headquarters. It's unclear where they could end up or if anyone will be charged.
