On the night of March 1st, 1932, little Charles Lindbergh Jr. was tucked into his crib for a good night's sleep. Mere hours later, the family nurse discovered that Charles Jr. was no longer in his bed...nor was he anywhere else to be found. The disappearance kicked off the beginning of one of America's so-called "crimes of the century", and one of the world's earliest international true crime sensations.
Because Charles Jr. wasn't just any toddler - he was the son of megastar aviator Charles Lindbergh, one of the most decorated daredevils of all time and one of the most famous men to ever live. What was to follow was a historic investigation, involving a desperate manhunt, con artists, ransom notes, and the still-new FBI.
Next week, we'll go into the second part of this story with the O.G. "trial of the century."
