The Lindbergh Kidnapping

In 1932, Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. disappeared from the nursery at the home of his parents, the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh and his fellow aviator and wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Although a ransom was paid, the child was not returned alive. It was a crime that rocked the nation, coming only a few years after Lucky Lindy had made history with the first solo non-stop flight from New York to Paris in 1927.
