The document discusses the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. in 1932 and the investigation and trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the crime. Key details include that the 20-month old son of famous aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped from his home and a ransom was paid, but the child was later found dead. Hauptmann was arrested after trying to spend one of the ransom bills marked by the FBI. At his highly publicized trial, evidence linking Hauptmann to the ladder used and ransom money found in his home was presented, though some questions remained. Hauptmann was convicted and executed by electric chair in 1936.
