Will the Real Charles Lindberg Please Stand Up?

If this guy is lying, he is courting one big defamation suit.

[TampaDude]

Let me be the first in this thread to call BS.

The kidnapping happened but a mile from where my office now stands.

[beaversmom]

Wow—pretty darned amazing if this turns out to be true. I’m not fluent on the case, but I remember hearing/reading about a lot of doubt regarding Bruno Hauptmann and in fact if the body that was found was truly the Lindbergh baby.

[Krankor]

The ear evidence alone is pretty damning.

[CAWats]

Will this thread survive?

[mission9]

Do you have any insights here? All the histories seem to remark about the skepticism and sensationalism. Bruno always claimed his innocence. This guy, if he is who he says he is, claims his father was in on the kidnapping. This could be a major revision of an American legend’s life.

Huh?

[JLS]

Why? Two people with similar ears? It would take many more traits than that.

You should be skeptical of this claim. Let the guy come up with some real evidence. Afterall how would he know? The kid was an infant.

"Charles Jr. has been suing members of the known Lindberg family for more DNA samples, which they refuse to provide. "

All he'd presumably need is a sample from the "second family" in Germany. They'd likely be far more cooperative.

[Ciexyz]

Reminiscent of the numerous Anastasia claimants that came forward after the Tsar and his family were killed.

[mission9]

Major conspiracy MIB alert. Charles Jr. says the FBI is stonewalling the facts. If this thread gets pulled, that confirm everything.

[mission9]

Wasn’t she proven a phoney?

[TampaDude]

Yes, time to adjust your tinfoil hats...the NWO puppet masters are watching...they are always watching...

[dighton]

The author seems to have trouble making up his mind between Lindbergh (correct) and Lindberg.

[processing please hold]

Wasn’t Lindbergh a nazi supporter?

[Marysecretary]

He’s asking for DNA evidence from his ‘brothers and sisters.’ What more can he do at this point?

[Clemenza]

Nope. I believe that the NJ State Police (under Schwarzkopf the elder) did their best, that whoever killed the young Lindberg did so after panicking that the police were "getting close", and that Hauppman was likely the culprit.

C. Lindberg was a rather odd man. A eugenecist who loved the environment; a hater of war that nevertheless admired the Nazi war machine; a man who loved his family, yet fathered a German girl out of wedlock.

I have seen the photos of the body of the baby. They are published in some of the books about the kidnapping. You can clearly see that it is the same baby despite the partial decomposition. The baby had a very prominent forehead, curly golden hair, and a deep dimple in the chin (like Charles, Sr.). All are visible in the photo.

Jim Fisher's two books on the kidnapping are definitive. He went right back to the original evidence which is kept in a State Police archive/museum in New Jersey. Don't bother reading anything else about the case. Fisher's investigation was exhaustive, and he has a police investigative background. The baby was killed shortly after the kidnapping, and Hauptmann was clearly guilty.

I also have the book by a highly respected handwriting examiner who testified at the trial that was published after the trial with many photostats of the kidnap letters and Hauptmann's known handwriting. Believe me, they match.

Over the years, there have been many fake Lindbergh babies and many stupid "theories" about the case. This is just one more example.
