About this episode
In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, the 1932 kidnapping of 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh Jr. becomes one of the most famous criminal cases in American history. What starts with a child missing from his nursery, a handmade ladder, and a $50,000 ransom note quickly becomes 13 ransom messages, meetings with the mysterious “Cemetery John,” a failed payment exchange, the discovery of Charles Jr.’s remains, and the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The case also left unanswered questions and helped reshape federal kidnapping laws. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
