If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that.

The Lindbergh Kidnapping: Timeline, Evidence, Theories—And the Aviator’s Secret Children
The 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping changed U.S. law and still sparks debate. We walk through the timeline from the nursery note to the fatal discovery, examine the money trail and the famed forensic ladder analysis, and revisit the Bruno Richard Hauptmann verdict alongside competing theories (lone actor vs. accomplices, the Fische box explanation, and inside-help rumors). We close with a careful look at the aviator’s later-revealed secret children in Germany—what’s DNA-confirmed and what remains unverified.
What you’ll learn
• Key locations, dates, and the ransom hand-off to “Cemetery John”
• How marked gold certificates and the “wooden witness” shaped the case
• Why the Federal Kidnapping Act (the “Lindbergh Law”) mattered
• Which theories persist—and why historians still argue
If you enjoy historically grounded, non-sensational true crime, follow and rate the show—it helps others find us. Share this episode with a friend who loves forensic history.
