Charlie Lindbergh Research Papers

“Lindbergh! His name will live in history,” (Lindbergh). There are two reasons this could be true: He is the first person to travel across the Atlantic without stopping or he helped kill his own baby. In 1932, baby Charlie Lindbergh Jr. was kidnapped and murdered. To this day, nobody knows who officially did it. . I believe it was Bruno Haptmann, John Knoll and Lindbergh who killed Charlie.
On Tuesday, March 1, 1932, the Lindbergh family came home. Usually, they stayed at a different house during the week because their house was being refurbished. On this particular Tuesday night, they had to stay at their house because 20-month-old Charlie Lindbergh Jr. was sick. The kidnapping took place around eight and ten pm. Everyone was awake when

Dr. Condon, Lindbergh’s emissary, went into the Bronx cemetery to give the murders the ransom money and when he got there, the man wanted Dr. Condon to call him John. When Dr. Condon came back from giving him the money, he gave a description of what John looked like and also stated there was something wrong with his left thumb. Two years after the murder they found a picture of John Knoll and it showed both of his thumbs. The investigators could tell there was something strange about them just like the John Dr. Condon met in the cemetery that night. In addition, an investigator’s father, Jean Zorn, was reading the newspaper when he came upon an article that bring up a memory from his childhood. When he was 15 years old he had a neighbor that went by the name of John Knoll. John and Jean’s dad where friends and one summer day John invited them to come to a saltwater swimming pool in New Jersey. When they got there, there was three people waiting on them, John’s brother, a deli clerk that knew Jean’s father, and a third guy that John and his younger brother called Bruno. During the trip, Bruno, John, and Walter, John’s youngest brother, was talking about the place where the Lindberghs stayed while there house was being done. As Jean was reading the newspaper he noticed the names John and Bruno. In the paper, Jean read that the guy that went to pick up the ransom money in the Bronx cemetery went by the name of John also.
