"At 10:00 pm Betty Gow enters the nursery to check on the baby. She feels a chill in the room and turns on an electric heater. Finding it strange not to hear the boy's breathing, she looks into the crib to find him . . . gone!" When famous aviator Charles Lindbergh's child disappeared in 1932, the nation was transfixed. This narrative depicts the many curious characters involved and follows the ransom demands, false leads, and the final outcome of the thrilling mystery. Includes bibliography and maps. Black-and-white illustrations.
