The Charles Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping, Murder and Trial
On March 1st, 1932, Charles Lindbergh Jr, the son of legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, was kidnapped from his bedroom in East Amwell, New Jersey. More than 2 months later, the baby was found dead alongside the road near the Lindbergh home. Police eventually arrested Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German born carpenter from New York City. Hauptmann's subsequent trial, dubbed the Trial of the Century, resulted in his conviction and execution. The crime and trial have fascinated historians for the past 90 years. Debate over his guilt and conspiracy theories abounds. I use my law enforcement background to examine the investigation, trial, and analyze the various theories and myths surrounding this fascinating case.
