FBI Files on the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping

This is the complete 580-page FBI file on the kidnapping of the baby son of aviator Charles Lindbergh . Although the crime happened in New Jersey, the FBI maintained its own records of the case. It was the first "Crime of the Century" in the U.S. Bruno Richard Hauptmann was eventually arrested for the crime and, in a trial which defined "media circus," was found guilty and executed, but he never confessed to the crime. The last page of the FBI files is marked PENDING - - this is time stopped in the 1930s.
