Lindbergh baby
Famous abduction case
The Lindbergh baby was the infant son of aviator Charles Lindbergh, kidnapped from the family home in New Jersey in 1932 and found dead weeks later.
The case became one of the most sensationalized crimes of the twentieth century and led to federal kidnapping laws.
The phrase sometimes appears in references to high-profile child abductions: It was like the Lindbergh baby all over again.
