After it was announced that the twenty month-old son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was abducted, the entire world grieved for their loss. Seventytwo 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 investiga-tion 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.

Case Closed: Lindy did it.
By A Customer
As a 25+ year law enforcement veteran, and current homicide detective (and NO, I was not involved in the O.J. investigation) my first impression upon hearing of this book and its premise, was to dismiss it out of hand. After all, I had read most everything else about the Lindbergh case and there had never been a hint that the kidnap was anything but real. Then I read the book. It's true, the book is not exceedingly well written but these two guys are not professional journalists. What I sensed as I read was the presence of a fellow dogged police investigator (Monier) and, what I have begrugingly come to admire over the years: the skeptical mind of the criminal defense lawyer (Ahlgren). In tandem, their approach to sleuthing an old case is deadly. As I proceeded through the book all the crazy facts of the case which had never seemed to make sense to anyone, and which had provided much of the lure to the Lindbergh case, suddenly seemed to fall into place. The authors show in Lindbergh himself those personality traits which, in my own experience, are consistent with a parent who commits a terrible crime, and then concocts a cover-up. Did Lindy in fact do it? The authors are honest enough to conceed that Lindy as culprit is only one of many scenarios, although one that has previosly been overlooked by the journalists and other amateurs who have studied this case. For me, in my own experience, I'd say it's the most likely explanation.

A sixty-six year old hoax finally revealed. Spellbinding!
By rd181818@aol.com (ronelle delmont)
This book should have been a best-seller. Contrary to first impressions, it does NOT belong in the genre of "conspiracy theory books." In my opinion, it is just the opposite - an unconspiracy book. It unravels a conspiracy theory - one that has been with us for over 65 years and took the life of an innocent man. I have read all the books on Hauptmann, Lindbergh and the Morrows that I can find. But,I continually re-read Crime of the Century: The Lindbergh Kidnapping Hoax by Stephen Monier and Gregory Ahlgren because the theories proposed in their riveting account of their own modern-day re-investigation of that sensatonal case are so shockingly plausible! The reader comes away asking "Why didn't anyone think of this before?!" In fact, their theories make all of the loose jig-saw-puzzle pieces, which journalistic investigators like Anthony Scaduto "Scapegoat" (1976) and Ludovic Kennedy "The Airman and the Carpenter" (1984) have repeatedly questioned since 1976, finally fit into all the right places. Ahlgren and Monier have tied up so many loose ends with the simplest approach of all. It has been apparent to many investigators since 1976 that Hauptmann was "scapegoated" by the police in a frantic attempt to solve this 3-year-old kidnapping murder. If that is so, and there is enough evidence uncovered now to conclude that a travesty of justice did take place in Flemington, who really did it? If Hauptmann wasn't in New Jersey climbing a ladder, who was? In this age of public awareness regarding parental abuse (and murder) of young children (Susan Smith in South Carolina is a good example) is it so implausible to think that a parent could have been responsible for a kidnapping hoax 66 years ago? Even if that parent is the greatest hero in the world? All the more reason, I would think, for a man to cover up a foolish and sadistic prank that went awry. How would it have looked to the world if the "Lone Eagle" admitted accidentally dropping his young child from a homemade ladder out of the nursery window on a rainy, windy March evening while playing one of his typically sadistic "pranks" on his wife? When you read biographies of Charles Lindbergh you begin to understand where Monier and Ahlgren are coming from. He seems to have been a pathological prankster. Even Anne Lindbergh, in a letter to her mother-in-law, written on the night of the "kidnapping", reveals that her first instinct upon looking at an empty crib was that Charles took him "as a joke." Why would any mother even think of such a thing? Because her husband had a very twisted side to his personality, playing sadistic pranks throughout his life. The authors have reinvestigated the case, and the trial, as if it were happening today. Policemen of the 30s were trained simply as foot soldiers in the battle against gangster crime and had no psychological training to ever enable them to suspect a hero - (it was also pre-Watergate). The New Jersey Police actually handed the entire investigation of the "kidnapped" child over to it's father! Yes, Lindbergh was the order-giver during the entire investigation up until the baby's body was found in the woods near his home 2 months later. Even H.Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr. (Jersey Chief of Police) took orders from the missing baby's father! The authors have brilliantly explained many puzzling episodes in the enire fiasco - Why did Lindbergh lie at the Hauptmann trial? Why did the Lindbergh family suddenly, and secretly, leave the United States? Was it the fault of the Press that the Lindberghs could not live in America? Why did Lindbergh become an outspoken anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer? There will never be an end to the complexities of this case but this book offers any reader an enticing challenge to think skeptically and logically about our justice system as well as the realities of human nature.

Excellent and Insightful 80 Years Later
By Verbena Reverb
This is a very well researched and well written account of the known facts of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. However, if you think of Charles A. Lindbergh as a genius and a saint your hackles will go up. Because the authors very convincingly explain what MANY things were wrong with the accepted historical view of the crime. The idea that big time risk taker Lindbergh dropped the baby as part of a prank is a serious possibility.
This book is a wonderful expose of just what is terribly wrong with the cult of celebrity which we so fervently uphold in America. (S'up O.J.?) What do you call a guy who pours water over his wife's dress at a formal gathering of prestigious and famous people? If he's some dude from down the street or perhaps your fiance you might call him an Ahole or a jerk. Or crazy. But if he was the first man to fly an airplane alone from the US to Europe you call this creep Charles Lindbergh. How many know that the great aviator never went to college? NEVER FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL? Was essentially ignorant and went about with a chip on his shoulder regarding moneyed people, yet married into an aristocratic family and launched a campaign to humiliate his wife from that moment forward?
There are some reviewers here who say that it is shameful to "tear down" a family with the nasty theories in this book. I say Charles Lindbergh did that himself. He was a strange bird to be sure and if you want to know more about his personality and the way he conducted his life just read this book. And the authors didn't even know when they wrote it that the great hero was responsible for seven illegitimate German kids! I feel so sorry for the Morrow family. What did Anne do to deserve all this? She bought into the cult of celebrity.
