Edgar Award Finalist: This "sensational" and "absolutely compelling" true crime tale finally answers the question: Who really killed the Lindbergh baby? (San Francisco Chronicle).
On the night of March 1, 1932, celebrated aviator Charles Lindbergh's infant son was kidnapped from his New Jersey home. The family paid $50,000 to get "Little Lindy" back, but his remains were discovered in a grove of trees four miles from the Lindbergh house. More than two years after the abduction, Bruno Hauptmann, an unemployed carpenter and illegal German immigrant, was caught with $20,000 of the ransom money. He was arrested, tried, and executed for the crime. But did he really do it?

New York Timesâ??bestselling author Noel Behn spent eight years investigating the case, revisiting old evidence, discovering new information, and shining a bright light on the controversial actions of public figures such as New Jersey Governor Harold Hoffman, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, New Jersey State Police Superintendent H. Norman Schwarzkopf, and Charles Lindbergh himself. The result is a fascinating and convincing new theory of the crime that exonerates Hauptmann and names a killer far closer to the Lindbergh family.

A finalist for the Edgar Award, Lindbergh "not only provides answers to the riddles of the 'Crime of the Century,' but hurls us into time past, to a special moment in American history" (Peter Maas, New York Timesâ??bestselling author of Underboss).

In my 20's, I was highly interested in the Lindbergh crime and its possible suspects, even though Richard Hauptmann was tried and executed for said crime. In today's world he would probably not have been convicted on the evidence presented. That is not to say he was not guilty, for there is plenty of "evidence." This author makes a convincing case that Hauptmann was innocent and points the finger directly at the three others who resided in the home. DNA would have definitely convicted or cleared Hauptman but was not available. Another good book on this topic if you are interested in the Lindbergh kidnapping. The only downside is that it is 630 pages ( )

2643 Lindbergh: The Crime, by Noel Behn (read 4 Sep 1994) This is the fourth book I have read on the Lindbergh kidnapping. The first, read July 9, 1962, was Kidnap, by George Waller. That author believed Hauptmann was guilty and he convinced me of such. The wood from the attic seemed the most damning to me. Then I read Scapegoat, by Anthony Scaduto, on Dec 4, 1976, and that book confidently disposed of the board evidence, and I hesitated to believe the explanation that author gave. Then on Dec 5, 1985, I read The Airman and the Carpenter, by Ludovic Kennedy, and became convinced Hauptmann was not guilty. Now this book claims there was no kidnapping at all! The author's thesis is that the child's aunt. Elizabeth Morrow, killed the child on Feb 27, 1932, and Lindbergh staged the March 1, 1932 events to protect his sister-in-law! This has nothing but inferences and speculation to support it, but the book was fascinating and fun to read.--although the events detailing the Hauptmann capture and trial and appeal were depressing. It made me thankful for the modern protections for accuseds, and very thankful that Iowa does not have the death penalty. I find it unbelievable that if this book has truth in it the people who knew the truth would have let Hauptmann die for a crime they knew he did not commit. ( )
