Last week we shared the first half of the dramatic tale of one of America's so-called "Crimes of the Century" - the kidnapping, and tragic murder, of Charles Lindbergh Jr., toddler son to one of the most famous men in the world: aviator Charles Lindbergh. In this, our 2nd and final part, we detail the painstaking investigation that eventually led to the arrest of German immigrant Richard "Bruno" Hauptmann for the murder of little Charles. The years-long search for the kidnapper and killer involved serial numbers, con artists, ransoms and one very tenacious wood expert, all which eventually led police to Hauptmann's doorstep. But was the (admittedly very guilty-looking) Hauptmann actually the one who took the Little Eaglet from his "nest" that fateful night in March 1932? We launch own own investigation, including a recap of Charles Lindbergh's life after his son's death...and how his alleged Nazi sympathies may have pointed to a darker motive than greed in the toddler's killing. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
