The Lindbergh Kidnapping refers to the abduction of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the infant son of famous aviator Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, in 1932. The child was taken from their home in Hopewell, New Jersey, leading to a nationwide search and a media frenzy. After a ransom of $50,000 was paid, the child's body was discovered in May 1932, just a few miles from the Lindbergh home. The case led to the arrest and trial of Bruno Hauptmann, who was convicted of murder and executed in 1936, marking a significant moment in American criminal history.
