SANTA CRUZ The man who opened the door of an Ocean Street hotel room offered a deadpan introduction.
"I'm Charles Lindbergh Jr. Please, come in."
Immaculately dressed in suspenders, a starched white shirt, tie and gray dress slacks, the 79-year-old launched into detailed stories of a troubled childhood and why people should believe he's the son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh aka "Lucky Lindy," the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic in the famed Spirit of St. Louis.
Most people accept that Charles Lindbergh Jr., the first son of the famous aviator, was kidnapped and killed before turning 2 in 1932.
Many would be highly suspicious of anyone claiming to be Lindbergh Jr., alive and living penniless in a Santa Cruz hotel room with his cancer-stricken wife Adua, surrounded by all of their personal belongings.
"That's a doll made of me in 1930," he said, pointing to an antique on the hotel bed, which he says was purchased from a Lindbergh memorabilia collector in Los Gatos.
The widely known story is that baby Lindbergh was taken from his second-floor nursery in the family's home near Hopewell, N.J., and after a series of ransom notes, the little body was found eight weeks later, badly decomposed in a shallow ditch.
But Lindbergh Jr., who also has used the name Paul Husted and has spent his career selling life insurance, contends there was no murder, only a cover-up by his "coldhearted" father.
He Advertisement asserts that Lindbergh conspired with gangster Al Capone to get rid of his baby son because he was physically imperfect, born with crossed toes.
"When Al Capone was in jail, he asked my father, 'Will you get me out if I give you your baby back?'," Lindbergh Jr. said Wednesday.

It would only take one "enterprising" waiter, waitress, etc. to help him settle this?

I dunno. He does say in this article that his motivation centers around money. That alone makes me suspicious.

The Lindbergh family refuses to give DNA for testing.

Watched part of an episode the other day and couldn’t help but think that every show they did was great; I don’t think they ever made one that bombed. Miss that brilliance today. ;D

What ever happened to the old guy who kept writing letters to the cops claiming he was John Dillinger? Dillinger would be 107 now.

"There's things Charles knew that he would have no way of knowing," Rosencrance said. "There's no way he could have done the research. There's something to this story."
Wake up, Bozo. He was less than two years old when it all happened. "Research" is the only way he'd know anything. With that much money involved, you can bet he's done his homework, and the cold-blooded bastard kept sending Mother's Day Cards to a murdered child's mother for 40 years, in pursuit of that money. I'd have silenced that parasite long ago.

He could be Lindbergh’s baby, but not the one that was kidnapped. DNA will only show if he is Lindbergh’s child.

I’ve heard this guy interviewed on the radio. Some time ago, he was talking about getting DNA from the family Lindbergh had in Germany. Yes, Lindbergh had a whole other family in Germany.

DNA would settle it.
Lindberg was a mess. Had 2 German families and 1 in the US.
Fraud to the bone.
