I don't know about anyone else- but if the Linberg baby thing had happened today- the first suspects would have been the Lindbergs themselves. They had an insane sister hanging around who is the most likely suspect. I don't believe Bruno Hauptmen killed the Lindberg baby.

"They had an insane sister hanging around who is the most likely suspect"

Say what? I've read numerous books on the Lindberghs and have never read a hint of one of Anne's sisters (I assume you're referring to) being insane. With respect, if you don't have serious backup for that it doesn't seem appropriate for a public forum...

[what's up]

I had heard Gen. Schwartzkoff's (sp?) father made a name for himself either prosecuting or defending Hauptmann...can't remember which.

(BTW I think Hauptmann did it.)

"They had an insane sister hanging around who is the most likely suspect."

This is absolutely untrue. The sister you refer to (Anne's sister Elisabeth) had a very severe heart condition which killed her when she was still a young woman. She was perfectly fine, mentally, and this story was made up out of whole cloth. Anne also had a brother who was a diagnosed paranoid schizoprhenic (though that diagnosis was overused during the early years of psychiatry). Why does no one point fingers at HIM? (He didn't do it, either.)

I have studied the Lindbergh case for years and am convinced beyond any doubt at all that Richard Hauptman was, indeed, the kidnapper/murderer of the child.

Spot on dude, I think Hauptman was just an idiot capitalizing on the disappearance.
