Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris, had his son Charles Jr. kidnapped from his home in 1932. A ransom note demanded $50,000, and after Lindbergh paid, the remains of his son were found two months later. Two and a half years later, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was found guilty of the kidnapping and murder after ransom notes were traced back to him and Lindbergh's money was found in his garage, and he was sentenced to death by electric chair.
