In 1932, the nation was gripped by shock when the infant son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from the family’s New Jersey home. The crime quickly became one of the most high-profile investigations in American history.
Based on documented reports, public records, trial transcripts, and official investigations, this documentary examines the case following the 1935 conviction and execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. While the trial was widely portrayed as bringing justice and closure, doubts have persisted for decades regarding the evidence, investigative methods, and courtroom proceedings.
This film does not seek to overturn verdicts or assign guilt beyond what courts officially determined. Instead, it focuses on the unresolved questions, disputed forensic claims, and procedural concerns that continue to be debated by historians, legal scholars, and journalists.
The Lindbergh kidnapping profoundly shaped American law enforcement, media coverage of crime, and federal authority — leading directly to the creation of the Federal Kidnapping Act, commonly known as the Lindbergh Law.
More than ninety years later, the case remains a landmark moment in U.S. legal history — not only for what was decided, but for what still remains unanswered.
