ABOUT THE BOOK
The Real Plot Against America unmasked? Did Lindbergh conspire to kidnap and kill his own son? A shocking, “must read” solution to “the crime of the century.” It pierces the whitewash to reveal this Depression-era mega-celebrity as both a narcissistic white supremacist and serial hoaxer. Charles Lindbergh likely could have walked down 5th Ave and shot somebody in broad daylight and gotten away with it. Sound familiar? Retired Judge and award-winning author Lise Pearlman’s myth-smashing exposé, The Lindbergh Kidnapping: Suspect No. 1 – The Man Who Got Away will make you reexamine what you thought you knew and think twice about fake news today.
In the depths of the Depression, millions worldwide followed every twist and turn of the Lindbergh baby kidnap/murder. Yet what was reported was largely fake news. Nearly a century after undocumented immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed for the dastardly crime, questions still linger. If the wrong man was convicted, who did it? When? Why? Where? How? The shocking answers this book suggests have eluded all prior authors. Extensive research into dusty archives yielded crucial forensic evidence never before analyzed. Readers are invited to reexamine “the crime of the century” with fresh eyes focused on a key suspect – a slim man wearing a fedora that obscured his face. He was spotted with a ladder in his car near the Lindberghs’ driveway early that fateful night. The police let an insider who fit that description oversee the entire investigation – the boy’s father, international hero Charles Lindbergh. Abuse of power, amorality and xenophobia all feature in this saga set in an era dominated by white supremacists and social Darwinists. If Lindbergh was Suspect No. 1, the man who got away, what was his motive? Who else was involved? Who helped cover up the crime? Read this book and judge for yourself.
