Ahlgren, Gregory, and Stephen Monier. Crime of the Century: The Lindbergh Kidnapping Hoax. Boston, MA: Branden, 1993. Print. This book showed the different possibilities of the kidnapping tragedy. Some believe that Hauptmann was not the man at fault here, and that Lindbergh himself kidnapped and murdered his son. According to the book, Lindbergh had been known as a prankster and faked a kidnapping of his son just three months earlier, but people had not thought much of it because he was famous and it was a joke. However, the police did not investigate him, and ultimately a possible innocent man was pinned with the crime and executed.

Kraft, Betsy Harvey. "Chapter Three - Baby Charles and the Carpenter." Sensational Trials of the 20th Century. New York: Scholastic, 1998. 48-78. Print. This book included a chapter of the Lindbergh kidnapping trial. We found in this book that the Lindberghs went to multiple people for help along the way, however many of them did not have much to offer. For example, Mickey Rosner, Rosner ended up being a con man with absolutely no information of the well being of the Lindbergh baby. Another man, Gaston Means, sent a message to a wealthy socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean, claiming he had contact with the kidnapping gang and would have the baby safely returned if she supplied him one hundred thousand dollars. Once he received the money, and the baby was not returned, McLean realized that he conned her. Means was arrested, but McLeans money was never returned.
