Description
For almost 90 years, the Lindbergh Kidnapping has been a major topic of controversy and fascination in history. After a six-week trial, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was named the ultimate culprit of the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh’s infant son. Hauptmann pleaded that he was not guilty even as he took his last breath on his execution day. Since that trial, there have been many theories concluding that Hauptmann was innocent.
A Talent to Deceive is a story that solves a mystery by using investigative journalism. William Norris dives into evidence ignored by previous investigators in search of the truth. Theories have said that it may have been a conspiracy between German immigrants. Some have said that it was an act of “the mob.” While others have even suspected that Charles Lindbergh himself murdered his baby and lied under oath to secure the conviction of Hauptmann.
Who really committed the crime? What really happened the night of March 1, 1932? What was the motive to kidnap and murder the Lindbergh baby? Follow Norris in this history-meets-mystery tale as he performs a thorough investigation to solve The Case That Will Never Die.
