After it was announced that the twenty month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was abducted the entire world grieved for their loss. Seventy-two days later the body was found in the woods next to a roadway a short distance from Lindbergh's house. In 1927 Lindbergh was the first to fly the Atlantic. By 1932 he was perhaps the most famous man alive. A great hero he was allowed to be the chief architect of the investigation into his son's kidnapping. In this capacity the first thing he did was to have the body cremated without an autopsy. Was this done on purpose? Or was it done for emotional reasons? The authors Gregory Ahlgren and Stephen Monier delve into the story like no other investigator has done in the annals of this famous-infamous kidnapping.
