The kidnapping case of Peter Weinberger is the most famous because before this case the FBI was required to wait 7 days before becoming involved in any kidnapping case. After the death of Peter Weinberger, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a law that changed the waiting period to 24 hours. Today, there is no wait for FBI involvement in a kidnapping case. At the time, people considered this case the "Crime of the Century".
