"MS of father carrying his three year old son Mark de Tristan" should read MS of father, Count Marc de Christian, carrying his three-year-old son Marc de Tristan Jr.
"Still of the man charged with the kidnapping, a German Jakob Muchlenbroich" - many versions of the kidnapper's name have come up during research, the most likely of which seems to be Wilhelm Jakob Muhlenbroich. (The version currently on Britishpathe appears nowhere else).
The child was found safely on 23 September 1940.

"MS of the child's mother" - that's the Countess Marc de Christian.
The location is Hillsborough, California.
