In March 1932, the whole world was captivated and terrified by the kidnapping of 20-month-old

Charles Lindberg Jr., the baby son of the famed aviator.

And there's a chance that somebody might notice one of the posters who'd recognize little Charles Lindberg

and so furnish a valuable clue.

He was mysteriously taken from his nursery on the second floor of the family's home in New Jersey

while his parents were downstairs.

Meanwhile, the child is still gone, and the parents are suffering tortures that only fathers and mothers can suffer.

Little Lindy's disappearance, along with the discovery of his body, the arrest and prosecution of Bruno Houtman was the original true

crime story of the modern media age, yielding countless theories about what really happened

to the baby of the most famous man in America.

I'm CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod, and welcome to a special episode of the 48

Hours podcast. I'm joined today by Free Press senior editor and writer Jonas Serra, who's out with a new

six-part podcast series about the kidnapping called the Lindbergh conspiracies. And we welcome in, Jonas Serra.

Thank you.
