Lindbergh Kidnapping: Through The Papers - Historic Newspapers

The body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh’s baby was found
on May 12, 1932, more than two months after
he was kidnapped
from his family’s Hopewell, New Jersey, mansion.

Lindbergh, who became the first worldwide celebrity five years
earlier when he flew The Spirit of St. Louis
across the Atlantic,
and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh discovered a ransom note
in their 20-month-old child’s empty room on March 1.

The kidnapper had used a ladder (below) to climb up to the open
second-floor window and had left muddy footprints in the room. 

In barely legible English, the ransom note (below) demanded
$50,000. The crime captured the attention of the entire nation.
