My heart breaks for Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She was an accomplished aviator in her own right and wrote several books. She wrote some heart wrenching passages about finding the baby's remains and worries that she would forget the details of his face. Not to mention she was the object of many of Charles pranks and had to deal with all the extra marital affairs. I hope she is at peace with her baby now in heaven. 🙏

I believe she "adored" Charles Lindbergh in a Stockholm Syndrome fashion; mesmirized, and willing even to withstand the baby cries for help. The strength of their "marriage bond" was ever powerful. - I don't give a flip about the dainty, poetic, star-gazing book she wrote about the sea. Besides being soul-sold to Charles, she was a rank, elegant narcissist. No pity.

@@victoriajarvis2260 I tend to think it was a classic case of narcissist (C) finding an empath (A), an all too common coupling. Anne’s diaries and letters are full of anguish. And they are full of empathy for the suffering of others. When I read them, I am struck by her awareness beyond herself and her deep desire to know about and feel the suffering in the world, which she felt a responsibility to do as an artist. In later writings, she is completely frank about her hero-worship of her husband during the early years of their marriage. They met only a handful of times before she married him. I find it interesting that in her years of widowhood, after Charles’s death, she was unable to emerge from his dominant presence, even in death. She wanted to write a book on widowhood and never could. I’m honestly not sure she wrote again, except for her diaries and letters. (The last volume being particularly interesting, being the only volume not heavily edited by Charles). The kidnapping was never spoken about in the family. About Charles’s affairs, her daughter Reeve said in an interview that she believed her mother knew something but didn’t know what she knew. Perhaps something similar could be said about the kidnapping. Anne spent the remainder of her life not finding her own voice so much as preserving her husband’s legacy. Perhaps, finding her own voice would have illuminated truths too painful to see or resurrect. We can only speculate. I do not see Anne as a narcissist, quite the opposite. I am not a specialist in the field. I do think Charles was extremely controlling. The way he controlled the investigation into his son’s kidnapping, even having the detectives and police living under his roof, would never be permitted today. It’s astonishing to think of the control he maintained.

@@lizzieb1106 The preposterous claim by the prosecution was that a floorboard in Hauptmann's attic was missing, and that the missing board matched rail 16 on the ladder. What really happened was that Detective Lewis Bornmann had accompanied the wood expert, Arthur Koehler, in his travels tracing a shipment of yellow pine from a sawmill in North Carolina to timber yards in the Bronx, elsewhere in New York, and New Jersey. As a result, Bornmann knew more about wood than any of the other detectives working on the case. Several days after Hauptmann's arrest, when 27 police had already climbed up into the attic to search it and found nothing, Bornmann did the same and also found nothing. But he did a second search a little later and noticed something he hadn't noticed the first time: the attic flooring was yellow pine boards. He came up with an idea. He got back down and collected rail 16 from the ladder, taking it up into the attic. He prised up part of one of the flooring boards, fitted rail 16 into place, and hammered nails through existing holes in rail 16, into the joists, to create 'evidence' that rail 16 had been part of the flooring. Just think of how preposterous this was: Hauptmann, short one board to finish the ladder, despite having plenty of boards in the garage or being able to go a short distance to a timber yard to get any timber he needed, somehow decides to go to all the trouble of the difficult climb through a manhole in the top of a CLOSET (!), hauling tools with him, to prise up a floorboard in the attic, to use for the siderail of the ladder. Don't you think the noise would bring the landlord, who lived on the ground floor of the house with his mother, running to see what on earth was going on? Can you imagine yourself, or any other member of the human race, doing this? This was manufactured evidence, but the jury fell for it. Moreover, Hauptmann was a highly skilled carpenter, capable of cabinet work. The idea he would build such a ranshackle piece of work which could not bear his own weight, was ludicrous, but the jury fell for that, too.

But the police fell for it and made it part of their manufactured case against Hauptmann. Hauptmann explained to the police that a friend, Isidor Fisch, had left a shoebox, wrapped in newspaper with him for safekeeping. After he learned Fisch had died in Germany, he investigated their joint business affairs, and discovered Fisch had fleeced him of several thousand dollars. He rediscovered the shoebox, and found it contained the gold certificates. He decided to use them to recoup his losses. He hid the gold certificates in the garage, because no one else went there.

In a later published diary, Anne wrote about arguing with her husband about how harsh he was to their second son Jon. It upset her. It’s interesting that Charles’s father’s family, originally from Sweden, highly valued stoicism. I understand from A. Scott Berg’s authorized biography (he was the only one given access to thousands of pages of family archives) that a not-too distant Lindbergh ancestor in Sweden had had surgery done (on the stomach or an amputation, my memory is faulty there) - and requested no anesthesia, a fact that engendered pride among the family. So, toughening up was a value. CL wrote about his own father teaching him to swim by dropping him in deep water. Anne was an empath and sensitive artist and found these methods distressing. On family dynamics, it’s interesting to read the memoirs of their youngest child, daughter Reeve Lindbergh. Lindbergh’s values in general can be discerned from his late-in-life book Autobiography of Values. It’s deeply disturbing. I’ve often wondered how Anne felt reading that his choice of wife had everything to do with breeding (his word).

My grandparents said he was embarassed that his son was born "deformed", and seldom ever had anything to do with the child. They also said the child was only seen by a very few, usually kept in his room. Stands to reason, if he was planning on moving to Germany, he would have wanted a perfect son...to match his status (so to speak), and the child would not match the standards of the perfect child thing Being a Nazi sympathizer, and mixing in with the upper Nazi class, the son's condition would have been discovered.

That’s my understanding of what prominent and wealthy families often did in that time period when there were health issues or problems in a child. Lindbergh knew Anne would never allow that, so he needed some way of removing the child from the home and presenting it as a done deed. The death occurred, I understand, when the baby was dropped on his head in the course of the kidnapping. I have heard of the diverse theories about the wounds in the skull. I believe it was a kidnapping gone wrong. Though of course that is simply an opinion. Lindbergh held some deeply disturbing views that inevitably do cast him in a suspicious light.

I have read quite a bit on Lindbergh over the years and have seen on television the biographies of him and the case of his sons kidnapping as well and I'm aware of all that has come out about him these past years. I truly do believe that he had everything to do with his sons kidnapping and death. I do believe that he planned it and I also believe that Bruno Hauptmann was just the poor guy blamed for this horrendous crime and made to pay for it. Bruno was just a patsy. Lindbergh was such a hero at that time that people just could not and would not ever believe he could do something like this. An innocent man paid a terrible price for something he didn't do.

I do not remember if they had a dog or they took Thor after the kidnapping. Also, there is the strange story about the girl that was there to take care of the kid that finally killed herself. This is a very strange story also.

Lindberg was a well known control freak and cruel to his wife and child. It has long been believed he paid to have his child killed because the child was born with rickets and suffered deformities from that disease. Lindberg believed that humans should be selected to breed "perfect" humans and having a child born with a disease showed him to be the hypocrite he was. He was known as an adulterer, but that was glossed over to protect his "image". He was hated for being ProNazi. That heroic trip was actually to promote overseas travel by airplane, it wasn't thought of in that time but with his trip it was shown to be possible. Aviation was spreading and that is why Lindberg got the financing to do it. He was not a hero, he was a hypocrite and should be despised as such.

Anybody that believes in eugenics is capable of just about anything. Years ago I dug into his speeches from the 40's and lost any respect I could have had for the man.

@@JudgeJulieLit truthfully I had never heard these facts about the little boy. Every being deserves respect, some like mice we will kill if their numbers are too large, or they are invading our home , but if a crittur is not interfering with me, I am going to see it as a integral part of the natural system. Here is an example: I have a small flock of chickens, under 20. I also have a family of rats, undetermined number, certainly under 10. If the rats just eat extra grain and sleep in the barn, we coexist. But if I catch one inside my hen house I will eradicate. But Eugenics takes a path of direct destruction of anything unwanted, it doesn’t even have to be imperfect, just not able to advocate for itself. It removes the ideas of compassion and learning from service out of the equation of being a human person being. I believe with rickets the child would have had permanent disabilities, but the descriptions were really not in line with a modern doctor would use so we have no idea. But to me it sounds like a cluster if symptoms that probably by now fit under some syndrome. It is very interesting, and I should go look up more information.

Wow I had no idea! He landed in a farmers field near my home. Once again, if you have fame and fortune you can get away with murder.

I live in Hawaii, and I have been to Maui, and visited Lindbergh’s grave. The Church is so sweet, and was built I believe in the 1850’s or so. The graveyard is humble also. Some of my relatives are buried there. The article revealing the fact that he had a “family” in Germany, with children, was something that resonated with me. I’m sure Lindbergh’s wife, Anne, probably knew about this. I can imagine her sorrow, and grief at finding this out. Divorce was frowned upon back then, so she probably felt she couldn’t divorce him.

There is too much circumstantial evidence of a conspiracy within the domestic workers of that Lindberg household.

Also at this period of time, kidnapping for ransom was a favorite money raising scheme of the underworld.

always suspected that since reading Anne Morrow Lindberg: Her Life , they never stated that, but the facts / puzzle pieces were there

John Curtis Hughes, the guy who went cruising with Lindbergh on a private yacht on the East Coast ostensibly to find the kidnappers who were "supposed" to be hiding on an oyster boat, died in relative obscurity and a whole lot of disgrace. His wife and daughter CHOSE to be buried together in an unmarked plot at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk VA because of the embarassment he brought to the family and how they were hounded in life.

I have heard stories about him often, probably because we graduated from the same high school. I don’t think very many people know, because they always associate him with the midwest, that he graduated from REDONDO union high school, in Redondo Beach, California. He didn’t have any friends, and he hated being here in California, probably because the kids here wouldn’t put up with his nonsense stuff. REDONDO was a very hard-working community back in those days. I do not put it past him, narcissists are pretty much always jealous of their children and the time they take away from the wife’s attention.

Again thank you for shedding light on a homicide where the pieces never added up.

It was likely an accidental death as in the Ramsey case. He actually showed the investigators a sealed envelope found on the windowsill of the nursery and said, "here's a ransom note." He apparently hadn't opened it yet. How would he know it was a ransom note. The other most compelling part is that he told Hauptmann's lawyers that if he would just confess, they wouldn't go for the death penalty. Hauptmann refused.

Jimmy's a positively charismatic man AND he never did a Charles in the future Movie. Though they both flew in WWII Lindberg did as a civilian liaison while Jimmy enlisted and paid for the required flight hours needed to become a pilot. He flew Missions in Europe, according to this video probably not a place where Lindy would want to drop bombs. Well, nothing really surprises me anymore. Kinda like finding out Amelia Earhart was only famous for being a rich politicians little girl and always given the limelight for that when she dang near died at everything she did until she did.

My parents were both mental health professionals. They were always certain that the child wasn’t born “perfect”. Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer. An imperfect child wasn’t in the plans. And now you’re telling us that their hypothesis was true. Five families in Germany? That’s a big WOW. Anne Morrow Lindbergh gives a lot away in her poetry. Beautiful work. Great read if you like poetry. If your stories are true he was one SF.

What a wicked, wicked man!! For many years I never heard anything about Lindbergh’s horrific activities. The US media still makes him out to be a grand hero although he did nothing except fly a plane across the ocean! There were others attempting the same feat at the same time. He just happened to be first to make it across alive! I have to even wonder about that! He did not even serve during the war except for “inspecting” airfields for four months, as though he was some sort of expert!! The military wanted his face involved in the war effort. I suspect that he did kill or have his own son killed. It certainly is only circumstantial evidence but it makes sense when you examine his overall lack of moral standing. On his death bed he wrote to his two mistresses in Europe and begged them to keep their affairs secret and not even to tell their children who their father was! It never came out until many years later and yet the media still celebrates this jerk! He was a tyrant with his true wife who evidently stayed with him all those years?? He must have had some kind of talent with the ladies because they all obeyed his tyrannical demands. He made his wife keep a record of every cent spent while he was off on his many trips to live with his mistresses plus his other business trips. He lived to be very old and the media made a big deal when he died! All you ever hear about him is his grand flight across the ocean! He had to have friends in the corporate owned media that today rules the world. There is no difference of opinion in any media today and there are very few independently owned television, radio , or newspapers anymore. They are all owned by major corporations. Who owns the major stock options of those media corporations?? The same global elites that rule the world. Where is everything that we buy manufactured today? Communist China! Why? Because the totalitarian elites of finance and industry decided to start the globalization scam in order to get cheap labor for themselves. Small business is a thing of the past. This is not a country by or for the people anymore, unless you are one of those who own major shares in the global markets.

I've always heard that he could be a really pompous jerk even before his NAZI proclivities came to light. I've even heard assorted conspiracy theories regarding the child's disappearance including one that the child was not killed, but this is the first I've heard about the possibility that he killed his own son.

Another great video! As I get older, I find it interesting how many of those we were taught to admire in school sometimes weren't upstanding people in reality. Lindbergh seems to be one of those. Yes, he managed to fly solo across the Atlantic, and that turned him into a hero, but otherwise, he seems to have been despicable, extremely so. I wonder if the second person to make the trip was a better human being, more deserving of the accolades? It's too bad Lindbergh can't be made a footnote or future reference made that he was a real b*****d, but he happened to be one of the early aviators who made it across the Atlantic.

@@chynnadoll3277 A God that lets children be abused and killed. The all seeing, all knowing and all powerful created a faulty being in his likeness, hilarious. 3/10 for God's creation.

Thanks for your recommendation. I’m on to the audiobook now and look forward to listening. Confirmation bias maybe, because indeed I think Lindbergh was a creepy character too and lauded way too much for his aviation exploits, while his politics and political ambitions during the tumult of the thirties tends to be ignored. Had he gained Republican nomination for presidential election, the world might look vastly different today. In regard to those US political ambitions Lindbergh had back then, I’d recommend Phillip Roth’s Plot Against America. US might well have dodged a bullet with this nefarious character who was lionised at the time?

Just recently this case was in my book recommendation.This book is next! What a fascinating but sad case. The women had to remain silent and stand by their man but yeah murdering your child? She was more than likely abused into silence. Sad.

I'm waiting!! Ron you do such a great job with these stories, I love your channel! Also enjoyed the Sunday walk today! Very interesting! Thank you 😊

Wow just wow what a monster he was! And this is the first I’ve ever known about this Ron so thank you for showing us and myself this! That poor baby and mother the abuse this sick man did! But again thanks for the history and sharing this ❤️👍

Nicely done video. The fadeout out the end was especially effective. I enjoy your videos. Thanks so much.

You made this month’s audible selection super easy. Thank You .

I learn alot of stories I've never heard before from this channel. Thank you!

Thanks Ron. I just downloaded the book to my kindle. Very interesting! I always thought he did it.

My father and grandfather knew him. My grandfather was high up in his local KKK. My father Charles was the worst man he ever met and he believed until he died that the man killed his son, because he said he was ashamed of his deformed child. Not my dad's words. Jimmy Stewart played him and actually came across as a really nice guy, but that's the only like I have related to him

Makes me think of Jon Benet Ramsey, Elizabeth Smart (there's more to that story than meets the eye), and other parents who have done things to their children. Thanks for the info.

Hi Ron, you tell the most fascinating stories. I wished that your videos were longer because that is how great a story teller you are. I hope you have a blessed & wonderful Christmas.

Just goes to show how evil transcends economic barriers, disgusting human being to treat his own son that way. Hope he met some sort of justice in the afterlife. Great vid!

I just purchased the book “Suspect No. 1” by Lise Pearlman about the kidnapping. Can’t wait to read it!
