Lindbergh put himself in charge of the investigation, insisting that the NJ State Police turn over all their information to him.

Throughout the proceedings, Lindbergh sat at the prosecution table with a holstered pistol under his arm. Heres The Evidence My Team Found, Do criminals freely decide to commit offences? Convoluted wood evidence supposedly proved that master carpenter Hauptmann had pulled a single board out of his landlords attic to finish the kidnap ladder, rather than just use the wood stored in his garage. When he went to get the baby, the baby was in a coma close to death, apparently having suffocated. Although the childs health and physical condition at the time of his abduction were downplayed even hidden from a curious public and law enforcement by Lindbergh and the boys doctor he appears to have been afflicted with a rickets-like condition that affected the development of strong bones.

Tellingly, ransom bills kept showing up long after Hauptmanns arrest. Will we ever know?

The New York Daily Mirror hired lawyer Ed Reilly to represent Hauptmann and to provide an exclusive news pipeline. The child had a fractured skull. They found nothing. Both lost their first-born sons in tragedies. Could the ladder be a red herring? After the kidnapping, they didnt look like two people,(parents) who just had a child kidnapped. A husband who was known for playing cruel pranks, the perpetual practical joker who NEVER committed another one after the death of his son. Nursemaid Betty Gow, one of five people at the crime scene, had a shifty boyfriend who was aware of the babys location that night. Ahlgren cant explain why he mailed Monier the article. Yet the money was found wrapped in newspapers from September 1934 and not from April 1932 when the ransom drop went down.
