The Compendium of Fascinating Things - The Lindbergh Baby: The Kidnapping of Americas Most Beloved Baby

Transcript

[00:00:00] Kyle Risi: As we know today, when a crime like this happens, the parents are usually the number one most likely suspect, right? But instead of investigating Charles Lindbergh, they decide that they need someone to steer the investigation, and so, with no background in law enforcement, they allow Charles Lindbergh himself to actually run the entire operation.

[00:00:24] Adam: What? That's so stupid, isn't it? So like this guy is a pilot. Yeah.
