Charles Lindbergh became an American and worldwide hero after becoming the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. But five years later, his world was upended when his toddler son was stolen from his nursery. The ensuing investigation into the kidnapping would involved a host of characters, including an amateur detective named Jafsie and a mysterious man named Cemetery John. Even the infamous gangster Al Capone volunteered his services to help. In the end, would the world ever know what happened to the Lindbergh baby?
