This is an illustrated 3,300 word book on an FBI case once called the "crime of the century."
At 7:52 A.M., May 20, 1927 Charles Augustus Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island in the "Spirit of St Louis." His objective was to become the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Many had tried but all had failed. His successful flight made hima genuine American hero and his fame would bring him more attention than he ever wanted and it would also lead to personal tradegy.
At around 9:30 pm, Col. Lindbergh heard a noise that made him think some slats had fallen off an orange crate in the kitchen. At 10:00 pm, Gow discovered that the baby was missing from his crib in the nursery on the second floor of the Lindbergh home, near Hopewell, New Jersey. She in turn went to ask Mrs. Lindbergh, who was just coming out of the bath, if she had the baby with her.
After not finding Charles Lindbergh, Jr. with his mother, Gow went downstairs to speak with Col. Lindbergh, who was in the study just beneath the baby's nursery room. Charles Lindbergh then went up to the nursery to see for himself that his son was not in his crib. While surveying the room, he discovered a white envelope had been left on the radiator that formed the window sill, containing a ransom note demanding $50,000. Within minutes, the local police were on their way to the Lindbergh house, as were the media, Lindbergh's attorney, and the New Jersey State Police.
