Many people refer to the Lindbergh kidnapping as the "crime of the century," and even after over a century has passed since the terrible events of March 1, 1932, the case is still fascinating and mysterious. The kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the aviator's son, and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh have been the subject of a notorious case that has spurred skepticism, unrelenting debate, and recurrent court cases concerning the guilt of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the man found guilty and put to death for the crime. The Lindbergh case is still a powerful reminder of the difficulties of enforcing the law, the impact of sensationalism in the media, and the persistence of seeking the truth in the face of tragedy, even after all these years.
