Podcast appearances and mentions of bruno richard hauptmann

VII El 1 de marzo de 1932, el hijo del famoso aviador Charles Lindbergh, Charles Jr., fue secuestrado de la casa de campo familiar en Hopewell, Nueva Jersey. Aquella noche, mientras Charles y su esposa Anne se encontraban en casa, la niñera del niño, Betty Gow, descubrió que no se encuentra. La policía halló varias pistas y una nota. Cientos de personas investigadas, decenas de giros en un caso, al que se le llamó, el juicio del siglo y a Richard Hauptmann como el reptil mas despreciable que se haya arrastrado por la tierra. El juicio de Bruno Richard Hauptmann, un inmigrante alemán, comenzó en enero de 1935 tras encontrarse en su poder parte del dinero del rescate. Hauptmann, defendido por Edward Reilly, negó cualquier implicación en el secuestro y asesinato, pero el fiscal David Wilentz presentó pruebas que lo relacionaban con el crimen, incluida la escalera que supuestamente utilizó. El caso conmocionó a la nación y generó una intensa cobertura mediática, además de cambios legislativos en torno a los secuestros. La familia Lindbergh se vio obligada a emigrar a Inglaterra en 1936 debido a la presión pública y el temor por la seguridad de su segundo hijo. La historia sigue siendo objeto de especulación y análisis debido a sus misteriosas circunstancias y los posibles errores judiciales.

This Day in Legal History: Bruno Hauptmann ExecutedOn this day in legal history, April 3, 1936, Bruno Richard Hauptmann faced the ultimate penalty under the law, execution by electric chair, for one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century—the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the toddler son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The case, often referred to as "The Crime of the Century," captivated the nation and the world, unfolding a saga of mystery, tragedy, and a controversial legal battle that raised numerous questions about evidence and the fairness of the trial. Hauptmann's conviction was primarily based on the discovery of ransom money in his possession and his insistence on his innocence till his final moments did little to quell public debate over his guilt. His execution marked a somber finale to a case that still intrigues historians, legal scholars, and the public, reflecting on the complexities of justice and the media's role in shaping public perception.Donald Trump has initiated a lawsuit against Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, co-founders of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., for allegedly improperly setting up the company, thereby disputing their entitlement to an 8.6% share currently worth $606 million. This legal action in Florida follows a suit by Litinsky and Moss against Trump in Delaware, concerning their promised shares in the social media entity. Amidst this legal tussle, Trump Media's stock experienced significant volatility, especially after revealing a substantial loss and minimal revenue for 2023, alongside a critical need for funding from a recent SPAC merger to continue operations. Trump accuses the co-founders of failing in their duties to properly establish corporate governance, launch the Truth Social platform, and secure a suitable merger partner, claiming their actions jeopardized the company. Despite these challenges, Trump's stake in the company, constituting 57% and valued at $4.02 billion, significantly boosts his net worth, potentially aiding in settling legal debts. The legal disputes extend to a Delaware court, where the judge expressed surprise at Trump's choice to sue in Florida rather than counterclaim in Delaware, hinting at possible sanctions against Trump for this strategy. The ongoing legal battles underscore the complex dynamics within Trump Media and the significant financial stakes involved.Trump Sues Truth Social Company Co-Founders to Zero Them Out (1)In New York, a proposal aiming to regulate the use of AI-generated deepfakes in election campaigns is in jeopardy of being excluded from the state's final budget, as leaders deliberate on more pressing issues like housing and healthcare. Governor Kathy Hochul's proposal requires campaigns to disclose any artificial intelligence use in campaign materials 60 days prior to an election, a regulation echoing laws in states such as Michigan. However, lawmakers argue the complexity of the issue merits a separate legislative process, despite the potential difficulty in passing it outside the budget. The proposal remains a topic of discussion, yet faces opposition, including concerns over broad definitions that might infringe on normal technology use and trigger extensive litigation. Critics, including the New York Civil Liberties Union, warn of potential First Amendment conflicts and advocate for a more thoughtful approach. The outcome of these budget negotiations could have significant national implications, especially with New York's role in determining the balance of power in the US House. The legislative session continues until June 6, leaving some time for debate, though the clock is ticking for addressing AI deepfake concerns before the 2024 election.AI Election Deepfake Measure at Risk in NY Budget NegotiationsCalifornia is at the forefront of considering legislation to protect privacy concerning brain-scanning technology, alongside similar initiatives in Colorado and Minnesota. These proposed laws aim to safeguard consumer data from neural devices, which range from sleep monitors to brain-computer interfaces like those developed by Elon Musk's Neuralink. The push for regulation is driven by concerns over the rapid advancement of neurotechnology without corresponding privacy protections, highlighting the potential for misuse of brain activity data. The California bill, if passed, would categorize neural data as "sensitive personal information," granting consumers rights to limit its use and disclosure. This legislative effort underscores a significant gap in current privacy laws, which do not fully address the nuances of neural data collected outside traditional medical settings. Advocates, including the Neurorights Foundation, stress the urgency of addressing these privacy issues, especially as AI advancements could amplify risks. The tech industry, with stakeholders like Meta Platforms Inc. and Apple Inc., is closely monitoring the legislation, advocating for clear definitions to avoid overly broad applications. California's move to protect neural data is part of a broader trend to expand the scope of "sensitive personal information," posing new compliance challenges for businesses navigating the evolving privacy landscape.Brain-Scanning Privacy Protections Get California Consideration Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Join us today for a riveting discussion with the amazing three-time true crime author and our new friend, JT Townsend!  In today's interview we will talk about JT's theories and first-hand experience regarding the LINDBERGH BABY KIDNAPPING AND MURDER.   This episode is a must listen!When their first-born child was kidnapped from their home in 1932 and found murdered in the woods, Charles and Ann Lindbergh were the most famous couple in America, and the case would become the most publicized crime of the 20th century.  Eventually, suspect Bruno Richard Hauptmann was convicted and executed for killing “Baby Charlie”.  But this delayed justice did nothing to halt the questions and controversies that STILL surround the case and confound armchair detectives 80 years later.  Queen City Gothic author JT Townsend takes a fresh look at the Lindbergh Kidnapping.  As one of the rare writers to actually tour the Lindbergh house in Hopewell NJ, he combines contemporary photographs of the crime scene with archival images from 1932 to create a unique perspective on this notorious crime.  And by interweaving forensic analysis and psychological profiling, Townsend laces the evidence into a shockingly rational theory that will forever close the book on the death of the Lindbergh baby.Get JT Townsend's books at:  https://jttownsend.com/about/https://www.amazon.com/Queen-City-Gothic-Cincinnatis-Mysteries/dp/1449018904?nodl=1&dplnkId=0c9d65f7-85cf-4441-b301-9c64036a0024Hosted and edited by Amanda ScottCo-Hosted, produced, researched, written and original graphic design by Pamela ScottOriginal music by Waves EntertainmentDisclaimer by Chuck HaungsENMESHED is an OH NO!

Aviator Charles Lindbergh (‘The Lone Eagle') was a household name when his 20 month-old son, Charlie Jr (dubbed ‘The Eaglet') vanished from his nursery on 1st March, 1932, sparking a nationwide media frenzy. The kidnappers left a ransom note demanding $50,000. After a further 12 exchanges of correspondence, the Lindberghs were told their son was onboard a boat called Nellie: a boat which was never found. At his sensational trial, immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the electric chair. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Police matched Hauptmann to the abduction; reveal how Al Capone got caught up in the crisis; and ask where all the forensic botanists have gone…  Further Reading: • ‘The Tragic Story Of The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping' (All Thats Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/lindbergh-baby-kidnapping • ‘60 Years Later, Doubt Clings to Lindbergh Baby Kidnaping Case' (Los Angeles Times, 1992): https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-09-mn-3355-story.html • ‘How They Caught the Lindbergh Baby's Kidnapper' (Smithsonian Channel, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpwduHFPqHk #30s #Crime #Mystery Love the show?

Aviator Charles Lindbergh was a superstar and innovator, making his 20-month-old son the world's most famous baby. Until one Tuesday night in 1932, when someone climbed into Little Lindy's window and stole him from his crib. The resulting mystery and race to save Charlie would result in the "Trial of the Century" and leave us with dozens of questions 90 years later. How did the kidnapper know the Lindbergh's would be in their new home? Who is Jafsie? Was Hauptmann truly innocent? Did the kidnapper act alone?

You might've heard about these stories, but this week, Amy and Chris dive deep into 3 of the most infamous unsolved crimes in American history. First up is the only unsolved hijacking in FBI history, the case of D.B. Cooper. On November 24, 1971, a mysterious man who identified himself as Dan Cooper sat calmly on a plane. He handed a flight attendant a note that told her he had a bomb and demanded $200,000 and 2 parachutes. Dan got his demand and jumped out of the back of the plane into the wilderness, never to be seen again. Many theories have arisen as to the fate of the hijacker, from dying in the rugged terrain to burying his money on the beach, but no decisive conclusion has ever been reached.In the second case, Amy delves into the body of a man found at Somerton Beach, Australia that has confounded investigators for decades. The Tamám Shud case, as it is often referred to, involves the discovery of an unidentified man found dressed in business attire slouched over on the beach in December 1948. It was later discovered that the man was dead, but his identity has never been determined. Strange notes and encrypted texts were found on him, leaving many to speculate that the man was involved in the Cold War or other secret operations, but even with advent of DNA technology, his background and identity remain murky.Finally, Chris explains the details surrounding the case that is usually referred to as the Lindbergh Baby case, or Lindbergh kidnapping. On March 1, 1932, Charles and Anne Lindbergh were approached by their nurse Betty Gow with a note. The note explained that their 20-month old son had been kidnapped and was demanding money. The investigation and subsequent trial turned into what many media outlets dubbed as the "crime of the century." And although a man named Bruno Richard Hauptmann was ultimately tried and executed for the crime, many doubts remain surrounding his guilt. Is it possible that an innocent man was put to death for one of the biggest crimes in U.S. history?Get 10% off your first month by visiting Betterhelp.com/recaps!Send your true crime suggestions to hello@truecrimerecaps!Support the show AND listen ad-free here!: https://truecrimerecaps.supercast.tech/Follow TCR on YouTube here!Follow TCR on Instagram here!Follow TCR on Facebook here! Learn more about your ad choices.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann was tried, convicted and executed for the kidnapping and murder of Charlie Lindbergh, son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne. However my guest, Lise Pearlman, author of "The Lindbergh Kidnapping Suspect No. 1: The Man Who Got Away" believes that not only was Hauptmann innocent, but something far more sinister likely happened to the little boy, at the hands of someone inside the Lindbergh's New Jersey farmhouse on that fateful night of March 1st, 1932.  More information on Lise and her books can be found at her website here: www.lisepearlman.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The newly completed B-Lines network for England has been launched by conservation charity Buglife with support from Defra. The scheme will create a vast interconnected web of potential and existing wildflower habitats across the whole country. Catherine Jones, pollinator officer at Buglife, said: "A complete England B-Lines network is a real landmark step in our mission to reverse insect declines and lend a helping hand to our struggling pollinators. We hope that organizations and people across England will help with our shared endeavor to create thousands of hectares of new pollinator-friendly wildflower habitats along the B-Lines." Buglife is asking people to grow more flowers, shrubs, and trees, let gardens grow wild and to mow grass less frequently, not to disturb insects, and to try not to use pesticides. Almost 17,000 tonnes of pesticides are sprayed across the British countryside each year. The country has lost 97 percent of its wildflower meadows since the 1930s and 87 percent of its wetlands. Both of these habitats support a huge array of wildlife."   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.

Although he was born in Germany and educated in Stuttgart, Charles became one of Alabama's first botanists. He emigrated to the United States in 1848. A trained pharmacist, Charles traveled the world before settling in Alabama, and he especially enjoyed collecting plant specimens in Surinam. Charles's travel log shows that he even participated in the California gold rush and lived Mexico, Indiana, and Kentucky before settling in Alabama. In 1857, Charles started Chas. Mohr & Son Pharmacists and Chemists in Mobile, Alabama. Charles spent his entire life collecting and organizing his specimens. In fact, by the time his book on the plants of Alabama was published, Charles was seventy-seven years old. After Charles died, his herbarium specimens were donated to the University of Alabama Herbarium (15,000 specimens) and the United States National Herbarium (18,000 specimens).   1935   Today is the anniversary of the death of the poet George William Russell, who went by the pseudonym AE. Russell attended the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin. There he met a lifelong friend - the poet William Butler Yeats. Russell became the editor of The Irish Homestead. His famous quotes include the following: "Our hearts were drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see." "You cannot evoke great spirits and eat plums at the same time."   1967   Today is the anniversary of the death of Wood Expert and xylotomist Arthur Koehler. Xylotomy is preparing little pieces of wood and then examining them under a microscope or microtome. Koehler worked as a chief wood technologist at the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. Koehler's expertise led him to become one of the very first forensic botanists. When the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped in 1932, a homemade ladder was used to access the nursery. Koehler, along with 38,000 others, sent letters to the Lindbergh's offering prayers and assistance. Yet Koehler's expertise would become the linchpin to convicting the man accused of the crime, making Koehler one of the world's first official forensic botanists. Forensic botany is simply using plants to help solve crimes. Three months after the crime was committed, samples of the ladder were sent to Koehler. Koehler studied the pieces through his microscope discovered that four different kinds of wood were used to make the ladder—Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Birch, and North Carolina pine. In an interview with the Saturday Evening Post, Koehler was quoted saying, "I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I have specialized in the study of wood. Just as a doctor who devotes himself to stomachs or tonsils … so I, a forester, have done with wood." A year later, Koehler was invited to see the ladder in person, and that in-person visit was revealing. Koehler discovered the ladder was handmade. He measured each piece to the nose, getting exact measurements. He understood how each piece was cut, how the pieces would have fit into a car, and then assembled at the Lindbergh home. Incredibly, Koehler was able to determine the origin of the piece of North Carolina pine used to build the ladder - it was sold in the Bronx. Ransom notes from the case lead police to hone in on the same area. Koehler was convinced the suspect would have the woodworking tools required to build the ladder. In the Lindbergh case, the wood from the ladder helped identify a carpenter named Bruno Richard Hauptmann. When the police arrested Hauptmann, they not only found $14,000 of ransom money but the evidence Koehler could link to the ladder: the saws used to make the cuts, the particular nails used to build the ladder and a missing floorboard from Hauptmann's attic that was clearly used in the construction of the 16th rail of the ladder. In fact, when the rail was removed, it slipped perfectly back into place in Hauptmann's attic - right down to the nail holes and nails on the board. Koehler estimated the chances of someone else supplying the lumber for the ladder to be one in ten quadrillions. Koehler's knowledge and testimony during the trial were vital to Hauptmann's capture and conviction. The "Crime of the Century" solved by carefully studying the only witness - a "wooden witness." It was Arthur Koehler who said, "In all of the years of my work, I have been consumed with the absolute reliability of the testimony of trees. They carry in themselves the record of their history. They show with absolute fidelity the progress of the years, storms, drought, floods, injuries, and any human touch. A tree never lies."     1996   Today is the anniversary of the death of one of the 20th century's leading landscape architects, Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe. Jellicoe was multi-talented, but his true passion was landscape and garden design, which he described as "the mother of all arts." He was a founder member of the Landscape Institute. Over his 70-year career, Jellicoe designed more than 100 landscapes around the world. Jellicoe designed the John F Kennedy memorial site by the River Thames in Berkshire. Jellicoe's final and most ambitious project was the Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas. Jellicoe imagined a design where visitors could walk through the history of the landscape, from the Garden of Eden and the gardens of ancient Egypt to a design inspired by Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain (1924). As the Moody Garden website acknowledges, "It was the culminating work of his design career but has not, as yet, been implemented. We live in hope." Jellicoe's favorite garden was the gardens he designed in Hemel Hempstead. Jellicoe designed the Hemel Hempstead Water Gardens to improve the quality of life for the townspeople. Jellicoe designed a canal with dams and little bridges to take visitors from the town parking lot to shopping. Jellicoe designed the canal after seeing one of Paul Klee's paintings of a serpent. Jellicoe said, "The lake is the head, and the canal is the body," wrote Jellicoe in his book Studies in Landscape Design. "The eye is the fountain; the mouth is where the water passes over the weir. The formal and partly classical flower gardens are like a howdah strapped to its back. In short, the beast is harnessed, docile, and in the service of man."   Unearthed Words Here are some words about the Dog Days of summer - which officially started on July 3 and runs through August 11.   How hushed and still are earth and air, How languid 'neath the sun's fierce ray - Drooping and faint - the flowerets fair, On this hot, sultry, summer day. — Rosanna Eleanor Leprohon ("Lew-Pro-awn", Canadian writer and poet, An Afternoon in July   Cool in the very furnace of July The water-meadows lie; The green stalks of their grasses and their flowers They still refresh at fountains, never dry. — John Drinkwater, British poet and dramatist   Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. — Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture critic, and writer   A ladder sticking up at the open window, The top of an old ladder; And all of Summer is there. Great waves and tufts of wistaria surge across the window, And a thin, belated blossom. Jerks up and down in the sunlight; Purple translucence against the blue sky. "Tie back this branch," I say, But my hands are sticky with leaves, And my nostrils widen to the smell of crushed green. The ladder moves uneasily at the open window, And I call to the man beneath, "Tie back that branch." There is a ladder leaning against the window-sill, And a mutter of thunder in the air. — Amy Lowell, American poet, Dog Days   "Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it." — Russel Baker, American journalist and satirist     Grow That Garden Library How to Make a Plant Love You by Summer Rayne Oakes This book came out in July of 2019, and the subtitle is Cultivate Green Space in Your Home and Heart. Michael Brune, the Executive Director of the Sierra Club, said, "I don't care what color your thumbs are —Summer Rayne Oakes will not only inspire you to connect with nature by taking care of plants but open your eyes to how even the humblest of them take care of us." Summer keeps over 500 species of live houseplants in her Brooklyn apartment. She's an environmental scientist, an entrepreneur, and (according to a New York Times profile) the icon of wellness-minded millennials who want to bring nature indoors. The book is 208 pages of plant passion and inspiration. It covers both plant styling and care. You can get a copy of How to Make a Plant Love You by Summer Rayne Oakes and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $15.   Today's Botanic Spark 2014   The outdoor public art piece called Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red was installed in the moat around the Tower of London. The work commemorated the centenary of the outbreak of World War I and was made up of 888,246 ceramic red poppies, one for each British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War. The title, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, refers to the first line of a poem by an unknown soldier in World War I. For this magnificent piece fo public art, Paul Cummins designed the ceramic poppies, and Tom Piper handled the conceptual design. Almost one million of Paul's ceramic red poppies appeared to burst forth from the Tower and then flow across the moat. Poppies seeped out of the Weeping Window and cascaded down a wall. Almost 20,000 volunteers helped with the installation. And, although it was started on this day in 2014, it was not completed until November 11 of that same year.

In 1927, Charles Lindbergh gained extreme fame when he became the first pilot fly solo nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. But as often happens, fame can bring about unwanted problems. In 1932, Lindbergh's son, Charles Jr, was kidnapped from the family home and later found dead in New Jersey. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Lindbergh kidnapping that the press called the crime of the century. After much cloak and dagger, which included 13 ransom notes, the clues that police had gathered led them to a German immigrant named Bruno Richard Hauptmann. But, there has been much speculation over the years as to whether Bruno was the kidnapper or merely a patsy who took the fall.

Author and investigator Stephen Monier joins Jim for a fascinating discussion of his book, Crime Of The Century - The Lindbergh Kidnapping Hoax. After it was announced that the twenty month old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was abducted on March 1, 1932, the entire world grieved for their loss. Seventy-two days later, the body was found in the woods next to a roadway, a short distance from Lindbergh's house, near Hopewell, New Jersey.

Debbi: [00:01:02] Hi, I'm pleased to have with me today another lawyer-turned-writer, which in my book is always a great thing. A member of the New York State Bar, he's worked as both an assistant district attorney and a criminal defense attorney. Not at the same time, of course. And he also practiced civil law---practices, I should say, civil law. He currently represents injured workers and volunteer firefighters, which is way cool in my book. He has written and published two true crime books. His latest work is a crime fiction thriller. It's my great pleasure to have here today Richard T. Cahill. Thank you so much for being here today, Richard. Richard: [00:01:51] Well, thank you for having me. Debbi: [00:01:54] It's a pleasure to have you on. Your first book was Hauptmann's Ladder, is that the correct pronunciation? Richard: [00:01:59] It is. Debbi: [00:02:02] Which was a detailed account of the Lindbergh kidnapping. At the very beginning of the book, you talk about what drew you into writing this book. Maybe you can do that. Tell us a little about that, as a teaser for the book, for readers. Richard: [00:02:18] Sure. Well, when I was 18 years old, I was in my freshman English class and the professor, Dr. Cotter, said that he wanted us to write a research paper. And so I thought, well, no problem. I'd read some books about, you know, the Lincoln assassination and I could do something about that. But then, being a wise professor, he then announced that it had to be something that you've never read anything about or ever done any research on. So part of me, I have to be honest, said, well, maybe I'll just do it anyway. But then I thought, now I've got to follow the rules. So I went to the library and I started looking around to see what I could find. And I found this small book and it had a whole series of stories in it, stuff like did Jesse James die the way history records? You know, did Neil Armstrong really walk on the moon? You know, stuff like that. And one of them was, did Bruno Richard Hauptmann kidnap and kill the Lindbergh baby? And as I read that particular article, I then remembered many years ago seeing an old TV show called In Search of ... with Leonard Nimoy. And all I remember was they did a show on it. And the only thing I could remember, there was a guy with a mustache who said that it was a miscarriage of justice. That's really all I remembered. So I thought this might be interesting. So I read one book. Ironically, I later found out it was written by the guy with the mustache. I didn't find it out for many years later that that's who it was. And I read two magazine articles. [00:03:45] And I wrote what I thought was a wonderful paper proclaiming that Hauptmann was framed, didn't do it, and so forth. And it came back, and I believe I got a B or a B-plus as memory serves me. And, geez, I should have gotten an A. Well, now, looking back, seeing the paper, my lousy research and so forth, I should have gotten an F. So the professor was very kind in what he gave me. But from there I read, I saw another book not long after that on the case and I read it. And that was one by Sir Ludovic Kennedy,

Bruno Richard Hauptmann (1899-1936) was convicted of the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the infant son of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, which was known as "The Crime of the Century." Hauptmann was born in Germany, fought in WWI, and emigrated to the United States in 1923.On the evening of March 1, 1932, someone kidnapped 20-month-old Charles Lindbergh, Jr. from his bedroom in Highfields, New Jersey. A ransom note demanded $50,000, which was delivered by Dr. John F. Condon, but the child was not returned, and his lifeless body was discovered in the woods 4 miles from his home on May 12, 1932.Hauptmann was identified and arrested after a bank teller traced the serial number on a $10 gold certificate to the Lindbergh ransom, and it was traced to Hauptmann's car. Among other things, $14,600 of the ransom money was found in Hauptmann's garage. He was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed on April 3, 1936. However, some people have argued that Hauptmann was innocent, and that he was framed for the crime.Bill Cox (1897-1968) was a guitarist, singer, and harmonica player from Kanawha County, Kentucky. He was also known as the "Dixie Songbird," and recorded many songs, primarily for Conqueror Records. This 78rpm record, titled "The Trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Part I & II" was recorded on February 26, 1935, in New York City. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On March 1, 1932, the crime of the century was committed. Charles Lindbergh, one of the most famous men in America's son was stolen out of his crib. A ransom was paid but the baby was never returned. Two years later Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested, convicted and put to death for the crime but many have their doubts on what actually happened.

In 1932, Charles Lindbergh's infant son was kidnapped and murdered. To this day there are some people who believe that the man who was convicted of the crime, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, may not have been guilty.

When the 20 month old Charles Lindbergh, Jr. was taken from the crib in his upstairs bedroom, the crime was destined to become the "Crime of the Century."His father was perhaps the most famous man in America, the aviator Charles Lindbergh. Initially, the clues led to a variety of possibilities, but then a kidnapper was revealed to be seeking the ransom through a random intermediary. Once a man known only as "Cemetery John" received $50,000 in ransom money, the case went cold. Over two years later, a gold certificate that was part of the ransom money was traced to a German immigrant named Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Hauptmann was found to have a large chunk of the ransom money in his possession, as well as many things that pointed to him being Cemetery John. After being handed to New Jersey authorities, Hauptmann was tried in what become known as the "Trial of the Century," after which he would be sentenced to death and executed. The kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby would remain the most significant criminal case in America for decades.

In 1936, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed for the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. Almost all of America believed Hauptmann guilty; only a few magazines and tabloids published articles questioning his conviction. In the ensuing decades, many books about the Lindbergh case have been published. Some have declared Hauptmann the victim of a police conspiracy and frame-up, and one posited that Lindbergh actually killed his own son and fabricated the entire kidnapping to mask the deed.Because books about the crime have been used as a means to advance personal theories, the truth has often been sacrificed and readers misinformed.Hauptmann's Ladder is a testament to the truth that counters the revisionist histories all too common in the true crime genre. Author Richard T. Cahill Jr. puts the "true" back in "true crime," providing credible information and undistorted evidence that enables readers to form their own opinions and reach their own conclusions.

After it was announced that the twenty-month old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was abducted on March 1, 1932, the entire world grieved for their loss. Seventy-two days later, the body was found in the woods next to a roadway, a short distance from Lindbergh's house, near Hopewell, New Jersey. In 1927, Lindbergh was the first to fly solo across the Atlantic in his Spirit of St. Louis. By 1932, he was perhaps the most famous man alive. A great American hero, he was allowed to be the chief architect of the investigation into his son's kidnapping. He demanded that the body be cremated without an autopsy. This book traces the 2½ year investigation by the New Jersey State Police, headed by Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, and which led to the arrest, trial, conviction and execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. It challenges the effectiveness of the investigation, and the evidence advanced by the prosecution, which convicted Hauptmann. It also details the role that Mr. Lindbergh played in the investigation. More importantly, it dissects evidence previously overlooked of Lindbergh's own role in his son's disappearance, which, in combination with the authors' expert analysis, leads to a new and bold assertion as to who actually committed the “Crime of the Century.”

On March 1, 1932, famed aviator Charles Lindbergh heard a noise on the upper floor of his East Amwell, New Jersey, home, and climbed the stairs to investigate. He found a makeshift ladder, an envelope and an open window. What he did not find was his 20-month old son, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., whose kidnapping ignited the beginning of a three-year, nationwide manhunt for the person or persons who had taken the child. Local police, federal authorities and private citizens joined the search until eventually German immigrant worker Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested and tried on evidence many think was invented or altered to ensure a swift conviction and subsequent execution.
