Al Seib/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images(GRAND RAPIDS, Minn.) A federal grand jury indicted a Minnesota man on Tuesday for allegedly stealing a pair of the ruby slippers that actress Judy Garland famously wore playing Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."
Federal prosecutors allege that Terry Martin stole the iconic slippers in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota one of only four remaining pairs worn by Garland in the 1939 film.
The shoes were ensured at a $1 million valuation at the time they were stolen, prosecutors said, but their current market appraisal could price them around roughly $3.5 million, according to estimates.
The shoes were recovered by the FBI and Grand Rapids police in a sting operation in July of 2018, the Justice Department said.
The charges against Martin are the result of a long-running federal investigation launched following the initial disappearance of the shoes.

“In the current climate, I don t sing that live,” he says. “People with a sort of puerile sensibility will say, Oh
