WAPAKONETA -- The police chief in Neil Armstrong's Ohio hometown says three portraits of the astronaut stolen from the local post office have been recovered.
Wapakoneta Chief David Webb would not say Thursday how police found the print and two enlarged photographs of Armstrong, who became the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. Webb says the pictures have been put back up and authorities have identified a suspect. No charges have been filed.
Employees arriving for work Monday noticed the images of Armstrong were missing at the post office in Wapakoneta, about 50 miles north of Dayton.
Postmaster Jennifer Shoup said someone apparently ran off with the portraits from the unlocked lobby sometime on Friday.
