History

Historical Context

The 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping marked the first time the FBI, authorized on May 13 1932, led a nationwide kidnapping probe, coordinating with New Jersey police and backing a combined $75,000 reward that helped shape the 1934 Federal Kidnapping Act. That precedent of federal involvement and sizable bounties informs current FBI responses to missing-person cases such as the 2026 Tucson disappearance.
