Question

in march 1932, an only child was kidnapped from his bedroom by way of the window. the ladder was not tall enough to reach. the father adamantly refused the mother/nanny from entering the childs room at a certain time that night. eventually the story ends with a ransom note, leading to a drop-off of cash. details where to find the child proved fruitless. and he was eventually found dead a few days later. the father had some police connections/political power, and refused to have the nanny or himself questioned. some german guy was convicted and sentenced to death for writing the ransom notes, but it was never proved that he murdered the child. documentary suspect the father's involvement. what do you think?

Answer 1

Hauptmann was probably not bright enough to have done it. He was a scapegoat for whoever did do it. It was easy to convict him, clear up a high profile case quickly and look good. There was more to it than ever came out.

Was Lindbergh involved? Probably not but he left himself open to question by not acting as you would expect a father to act when his baby disappeared. Instead of helping he went out of his way to hinder. Why will never be known. But he did have a very high opinion of himself and his position. He would not have wanted anyone investigating him. Especially when it became a murder remembering that family are most often the killers in a murder.

Answer 2

The Lindbergh kidnapping was the abduction and murder of Charles Lindbergh III, the toddler son of world famous aviator Charles Lindbergh, Jr. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, in 1932.
The kidnapping and subsequent trial might be described as a media circus: every development was followed by millions of people; newspaper writer H.L. Mencken called the affair "the biggest story since the Resurrection."
Bruno Hauptmann was convicted and executed for the crime, though he proclaimed his innocence. In the subsequent decades, many have argued that Hauptmann was innocent: the victim of a miscarriage of justice by authorities eager to resolve a highly public case. He undoubtedly possessed some of the ransom money, but beyond that, the questions of further involvement in the crime may remain open..☺

I liked the "Unsolved Mysteries" episode about this. I think it was a simple case of shaken baby syndrome covered up. Who dunnit? I dunno.
