The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case On the evening of Tuesday, March 1, 1936, b

In accordance with the instructions contained in the notes, Lindbergh would eventually pay $50,000 to the kidnapper or kidnappers. But on May 12, the body of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was discovered in a shallow grave near Mount Rose, New Jersey, only about a mile from the Lindbergh house (but several miles by the winding local roads). Examination of the child's skeletal remains indicated that he had died over two months earlier  probably on the day he was kidnapped.

Some two years later, a Germanimmigrant carpenter named Bruno Hauptmann was arrested in possession of some of the ransom money, and charged with the crime.

Shoenfeld also believed, from the beginning, that the kidnapper would kill the child, as the only way to complete his symbolic possession. None of the hundreds of leads that were followed, or any of the scientific evidence or advice that was offered, proved to be the key that would crack the case. The trail of the wood used in the ladder ran dry. The Curtis connection had been a hoax. After nearly two years, the investigation was left essentially emptyhanded. The only potential lead they were left with was the gradual dribblingout of gold certificates having the serial numbers of the ransom money. The distribution of detected ransom money was such as to indicate that the kidnapper lived in the Bronx. That, however, narrowed the list down to several hundred thousand potential suspects. A rectangle was drawn to show the probable area in which the suspect lived. There was no GermanAmerican colony w
