Police said they also have received no "serious" messages although there have been several crank telephone calls and letters. When Chaplin's grave was opened March 2 and the coffin and body stolen, police and the family thought there would be a ransom demand.

Chaplin had said he wanted to be interred in England, but Mrs. Chaplin decided on a burial in this tiny village overlooking Lake Geneva where they had lived since 1952 on legal advice.
