In one of the most famous crimes in all of the 20^th Century, Charles and Anne Lindbergh’s twenty-month-old son was abducted and murdered, even after the Lindbergh’s had given some ransom money.

Two years after the initial and horrific incident, a German immigrant by the name of Bruno Hauptmann was caught spending some of the ransom money he’d allegedly received, and his arrest led to one of the most debated cases of all time.

Hauptmann never once admitted to the abduction and murder of the Lindbergh baby, and after his execution more voices started to join the choir that suggested Hauptmann’s innocence, not the least of which was his widow, who was still fighting to have her dead husband’s name cleared of all charges when she passed away in 1994.

Over the decades, experts have questioned the lack of fingerprints left by Hauptmann at the scene (no trace was found whatsoever), and several eyewitness accounts contradict the accusing evidence laid against him.
