This case takes us to the state of New Jersey, which is located next to the following states: Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York.

On the 1st of March 1932, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Junior, born on the 22nd of June 1930, he was the 20 month old son of aviator Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's, he was abducted from his crib in the upper floor of the Lindbergh's home, Highfields, in East Amwell, New Jersey, United States, on the 12th of May 1932, his corpse was discovered by a truck driver by the side of a nearby road.
In September 1934, a German immigrant named Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested for the crime, after a trial which lasted from the 2nd of January 1935 to the 13th of February 1935, he was found guilty of first degree murder and he was sentenced to death.
Despite his conviction, he continued to profess his innocence, but all appeals failed and he was executed by electric chair at the New Jersey State Prison on the 3rd of April 1936.
The crime spurred Congress to pass the Federal Kidnapping Act, commonly called the "Little Lindbergh Law" which made transporting a kidnapping victim across state lines a federal crime.
