State ties Hauptmann to Lindbergh ransom in new evidence
The state says most of the $50,000 paid as a ransom in 1932 links to Bruno Hauptmann with motive extortion driving the crime. Prosecution officials claim Hauptmann acted alone in abducting Lindbergh’s child and disposing of the money, despite defense assertions of a gang. New witnesses, including John Hughes Curtiss of Norfolk, report Hauptmann showed some ransom funds to associates after payment and before the body was found.
