an eye on”. The kidnapping of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., the first-born
son of the great aviator, becomes one of the most highly publicized crimes of the
20th century.
The 20-month-old toddler was abducted from his family home in New Jersey, on
the evening of March 1, 1932 and held for ransom. Over two months later, on
May 12, 1932, his body is discovered a short distance from the Lindberghs'
home. A medical examination determines the cause of death as a massive skull
fracture.
A German immigrant named Bruno Hauptmann is framed for the crime. In
addressing his last words to his spiritual advisor, Rev. James Matthiesen,
Hauptmann declares, "Ich bin absolut unschuldig an den Verbrechen, die man
mir zur Last legt", which Matthiesen tells Gov. Hoffman means, "I am
absolutely innocent of the crime with which I am burdened." (1) Was this
horrible crime intended as a message to Lindbergh? Some have noted that the
murder occurred just before the Jewish observance of Passover (an event based
on the killing of the first-born of ancient Egypt), suggesting that the killing may
have had ritualistic implications.
The case against the German Hauptmann was full of holes.
