A man was indicted on a charge of theft of major artwork nearly two decades after an original pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in film "The Wizard of Oz" were stolen.
The shoes, swiped from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapid, Minnesota in August 2005, were recovered in 2018. No arrests were made at the time, though the FBI said they had multiple suspects.
Terry Martin was indicted on Tuesday. Officials have not said what led investigators to finally file charges.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
