Controversial Case Of The Lindbergh Kidnapping

There are many controversial cases throughout the history of the United States, but there is one that, despite it’s age still has many questions, theories, and opinions. The controversial case of the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping has still been questioned since when it happened in 1932, the first of March. Little baby Lindbergh was kidnapped one night from the famous couple’s home. There were many suspicious items such as a ladder, ransom notes, the baby later found dead by the home, and witnesses that give us some controversial clues to what did happen in the case of the Lindbergh baby Kidnapping. In the controversial court case of the Lindbergh Kidnapping the guilty verdict correctly prosecuted Bruno Hauptmann because of the ransom money in his

Dr. John Condon, who contacted with someone part of the kidnapping, found Hauptmann very similar to John’s, the contact’s, description. According to FBI, Dr. Condon’s description of John, whom he had contacted and was given ransom notes by, fit the man who was in possession to the bills (“Lindbergh”). Furthermore Dr. Condon had drawn and explained what “John” looked like before Hauptmann was in the picture or when any money was found. This is important because many question if the drawings and description was reliable, but is is key to show he had seen the man before. Furthermore, another witness Joseph Perrone, who was a taxi driver, had received a ransom notes as well. As explained by Detmont, "On September 19, 1934, Hauptmann was positively identified by Joseph Perrone, the taxi driver, who delivered the fifth ransom note to Dr Condon's home” (Delmont). According to the witnesses, Hauptmann was part of the kidnapping with his description matching the one who asked for ransom money and giving out ransom notes.

Two other witnesses that testified that they had see the same automobile that Hauptmann had was found close parked to the Lindbergh’s home.

This is huge evidence that points Hauptmann to the kidnapping. The habits and style of the handwriting was very close to the ransom notes in the case. Controversy if the the writing test has any significants in the case of the Lindberg baby kidnapping. According to the Lindbergh kidnapping hoax website, “Hauptmann spelled "every" - "afery" yet in the ransom notes "every" is spelled correctly and is never spelled "afery". Also he spelled "not" correctly in the conceded writings.... They were looking for "similarities" and of course they were going to find them in the request writings based on how they were created...That's why the Prosecution did not tell them of their true nature” (Delmont). Yet Delmont does not take in account that mistakes of writing in the situation. What the test was looking at was the habits and, yes, similarities between the hand writings.
