Explore the trial of Richard Hauptmann, the accused kidnapper of the baby of aviator Charles Lindbergh. Measured by the public interest it generated, the Hauptmann trial is among the most famous trials of the 20th century. The trial featured America’s greatest hero, a good mystery involving ransom notes and voices in dark cemeteries, a crime that is every parent’s worst nightmare, and a German-born defendant who fought against U. S. forces in World War I. Led by the Honorable Dennis J. Curran, retired Massachusetts Superior Court Justice. Curran is a member of the national Board of Advisors of The Lincoln Forum, a Life Member of the Surratt Society, and a Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society. The author of 42 book chapters and articles, he has taught at Tufts University, Roger Williams University of School of Law, and Brown University.
