EP 24 - PART 6 - WHO REALLY KIDNAPPED THE LINDBERGH BABY (2 - 4)

After the kidnapper's directions for finding the baby proved to be a cruel deception, the search for the child launched into overdrive. Despite the massive law enforcement effort, the baby's corpse was discovered accidentally on May 12, 1932 on the grounds of the St. Michael's Orphanage in Hopewell. After a multi-jurisdictional manhunt that lasted two and a half years, police ultimately arrested illegal German immigrant Bruno Hauptmann for the crime.  Chapter 27 of Anthrax to Zodiac explores the details of the investigation into the crime of the century and examines the details of the scientific analysis of the kidnapping ladder that ultimately helped seal Hauptmann's date with the electric chair.
