Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., the "Lindbergh Baby" (June 22, 1930 - March 2, 1932), the eldest son of aviators Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was the victim of one of the most sensational crimes of the 20th century. The 20-month-old was abducted from his family home, Highfields, in East Amwell, New Jersey, on the evening of March 1, 1932. On May 12, his body was discovered in nearby Hopewell Township. A medical examination determined that the cause of death was a massive skull fracture.
