Narrated by Rene Cutforth
When in 1927 Colonel Lindbergh flew non-stop across the North Atlantic and landed in Paris the world idolised a new hero. Five years later his baby son, aged 20 months, was kidnapped and later discovered murdered.
A sense of sorrow and outrage swept across the United States, and a widespread manhunt for the kidnapper-murderer was mounted. In 1935 Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German immigrant, was brought to trial after perhaps the most involved piece of detective work in history. But was Hauptmann really guilty? The controversy continues to this day.
