It was the Crime of the Century, and the whole world was invested in finding out who kidnapped (and murdered) the Lindbergh baby. This week, Hannah takes Katy through the rest of the story: how the police tracked down a suspect, the evidence, the witnesses, and the Trial of the Century. The girls talk about what made sense, what didn’t, and what could have been/definitely was missed. If you’re looking for closure, look somewhere else because all the questions don’t get answered just because a man was put to death.
So pour your drinks, break out your notes from last week, and join us for the conclusion to this Unsolved Mystery.
