History

Historical Context

On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh's 20-month-old son was kidnapped from their home in New Jersey, leading to a nationwide manhunt. The discovery of the child's body two months later resulted in the conviction and execution of Bruno Hauptmann in 1936. This case prompted the Federal Kidnapping Act, making kidnapping a federal offense and significantly influencing law enforcement practices regarding abductions.
