Crime of the Century: The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping, The Trial, and the Price of Fame
Friday, January 9, 12:00 pm
On a dark night in 1932, America’s most beloved hero, Charles Lindbergh—the “Lone Eagle”—had his world shatter when his infant son was snatched from his nursery in what the press instantly dubbed the “Crime of the Century.” Please join Detective Sergeant and amateur historian James Calaski for a gripping lecture that goes beyond the headlines to dissect this infamous saga. He will trace the desperate investigation, the tense ransom negotiations with the mysterious figure known as “John,” and the tragic discovery that turned a kidnapping case into a high-stakes murder inquiry. Then, witness the Trial of the Century, where an entire nation watched as circumstantial evidence, handwriting analysis, and a piece of wooden ladder brought a German carpenter, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, to the stand. Was justice truly served? Or did the relentless glare of celebrity and media frenzy condemn an innocent man? This lecture explores the shocking evidence, the key players, and the lasting legal legacy of the case that forever changed American law and riveted the world! Don’t miss this definitive look at the history, the tragedy, and the enduring controversy of the Lindbergh Kidnapping.
