On March 1, 1932, 20 month old Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. was discovered as missing from his crib by his nurse.
A ransom note was found on the windowsill, and a ladder made of scrap wood, with some slates broken, was abandoned by the side of the house. The baby was never returned even after the ransom was paid.
Nearly four months later, Lindbergh’s infant body was discovered on the side of a road, decomposed and covered in leaves.
