Lindbergh baby kidnapping, crime involving the kidnapping and murder of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., the 20-month-old son of aviator Charles Lindbergh.

The kidnapping and ransom negotiations

At about 9:00 pm on March 1, 1932, the kidnapper or kidnappers climbed by ladder into the second-story nursery of the Lindbergh home near Hopewell, N.J., abducted the child, and left a ransom note demanding $50,000. The Lindbergh baby, dubbed "the Eaglet" by the press, was discovered missing by Betty Gow, the child's nanny, about an hour later. The Lindberghs notified the local authorities, who in turn ceded control of the investigation to the New Jersey State Police. A search of the crime scene uncovered the ransom note, on the sill of an open window and muddy but indistinct footprints in the nursery. A ladder was discovered some distance from the Lindbergh house, broken at a point where two sections were joined, and footprints were found leading into the woods at the edge of the property.

FBI

Although H. Norman Schwarzkopf (father of Persian Gulf War commander Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf) of the New Jersey State Police was nominally the lead investigator in the case, control of many of the details was ceded to Lindbergh. Two more ransom notes were received in quick succession, the first of which raised the kidnappers' demand to $70,000. After various attempts to contact the kidnappers failed to bear fruit, a retired New York City teacher named John F. Condon placed an advertisement in a Bronx newspaper on March 8, 1932, offering to act as an intermediary between the Lindberghs and the kidnappers. The following day Condon received a note from the kidnappers, stating that they would accept him as a go-between. Over the following weeks a cat-and-mouse game ensued, with Condon communicating through newspaper columns under the name "Jafsie" and the kidnappers secreting written messages at locations across New York City. On March 16 Condon received the child's sleeping suit as proof of identity, and within two weeks the kidnappers demanded delivery of the ransom. On the night of April 2, Condon, with Lindbergh waiting in a car nearby, met a man whom he called "John" at St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx. He negotiated with "John," getting him to agree to the original ransom of $50,000, in exchange for the location of the Lindbergh baby. "John" took the money-primarily gold certificates, the serial numbers of which had been recorded by the Treasury Department-and gave Condon a note that stated that the child could be found on a boat called the Nelly, near Martha's Vineyard, Mass. Lindbergh himself led the ultimately unsuccessful search for the Nelly, and the team of investigators were forced to concede that they had gained nothing in return for the ransom.

The murder investigation

Undaunted by that setback, the search for young Charles continued, and the serial numbers of the bills paid to "John" were released to banks and published in major newspapers. The case took a tragic turn on May 12, when the child's badly decomposed body was found less than 5 miles (8 km) from the Lindbergh home. An autopsy found that the Lindbergh baby had been killed by a blow to the head during or shortly after the kidnapping.

The U.S. Bureau of Investigation (now the Federal Bureau of Investigation) had, until the discovery of the body, been acting in a purely advisory capacity. On May 13, however, Pres. Herbert Hoover authorized the bureau to serve as the primary federal agency on the case, and the full resources of the U.S. Department of Justice were committed to the investigation of the crime. Public outrage led the U.S. Congress to pass the Federal Kidnapping Act (known as the Lindbergh Law) on June 22, 1932-the day that would have been Charles's second birthday. The Lindbergh Law made kidnapping across state lines a federal crime and stipulated that such an offense could be punished by death.

The bureau and the New Jersey State Police initially focused their efforts on Condon and on the Lindbergh household staff, but no concrete leads emerged. Condon aided the bureau in constructing a profile of "John," and gold certificates from the ransom payment began surfacing in the New York area. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order on April 5, 1933, stating that all circulating gold certificates must be exchanged for Federal Reserve notes by May 1, 1933. While this was done to prevent the hoarding of gold during the Great Depression, it benefited investigators by making the ransom money even easier to track. More than a year passed before the case had its major break, though, when a service station attendant in New York City recorded the license plate number of a man who had paid with a $10 gold certificate. Federal and local authorities traced the license plate to the Bronx residence of a German carpenter who matched the physical description of "John" that had been provided by Condon. On Sept. 19, 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested, and a $20 gold certificate from the ransom payment was found on his person.

The "trial of the century"

The case against Hauptmann mounted quickly. The day after his arrest, more than $13,000 in gold ransom certificates was discovered in Hauptmann's garage, and he was later identified by Condon as "John." Handwriting analysis found that Hauptmann's penmanship was stylistically consistent with the ransom notes that were sent by the kidnapper or kidnappers, and he drew additional suspicion for having a prior criminal record that included burglary. In his defense, Hauptmann claimed that he was holding the money for a friend, Isidore Fisch, who had returned to Germany in 1933 and had since died. On Oct. 8, 1934, Hauptmann was indicted for the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.

As the new year dawned, the world focused its attention on the Hunterdon county court house in Flemington, N.J. Jury selection in the case of The State of New Jersey v. Bruno Richard Hauptmann took place on Jan. 2, 1935, and the trial began the following day. The evidence presented against Hauptmann was primarily circumstantial. Tool marks on the ladder used in the kidnapping appeared to match tools owned by Hauptmann, and the ladder incorporated a piece of flooring that was missing from his attic. Additionally, Condon's telephone number was found written on a closet door frame in Hauptmann's home. Lindbergh himself took the stand, testifying that he recognized Hauptmann's voice from the night of the ransom payment. When defense attorneys called Hauptmann to the witness stand, he professed total innocence, claimed that he had been subjected to beatings by the police, and stated that he had been forced to produce handwriting samples that matched the ransom notes. After more than five weeks of testimony and 11 hours of deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict on Feb. 13, 1935, and Hauptmann was sentenced to death. A series of appeals, ultimately reaching the Supreme Court in December 1935, were unsuccessful, and a clemency bid was rejected on March 30, 1936. Hauptmann, denying until the end any involvement in the crime, was executed by electric chair on April 3, 1936.

Yesterday, the family of Gabrielle Petito met with the FBI at the Tampa Field Office as the investigation will be closed in the near future.

"All logical investigative steps have been concluded in this case," said FBI Denver Division Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider. "The investigation did not identify any other individuals other than Brian Laundrie directly involved in the tragic death of Gabby Petito. The FBI's primary focus throughout the investigation was to bring justice to Gabby and her family. The public's role in helping us in this endeavor was invaluable as the investigation was covered in the media around the world. On behalf of the FBI, I want to express my deepest appreciation to the public for the thousands of tips that were provided during the investigation, and to our local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their work throughout the investigation."

The FBI opened its investigation into the disappearance of Ms. Petito on September 12, 2021, upon receiving reports from Gabby's family that Ms. Petito was missing. The FBI, working with federal, state and local officials, organized a search of a remote area within the Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

On September 19, 2021, the search team located the remains of Ms. Petito at the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area near where she and Brian Laundrie had been seen together. Ms. Petito was found approximately three weeks after her last known communication. The Teton County Coroner's Office subsequently concluded Ms. Petito died of "blunt-force injuries to the head and neck, with manual strangulation." While law enforcement investigated all logical leads, the investigation quickly focused on the last person believed to see her alive-Mr. Laundrie.

The following is a timeline of the investigation:

The FBI investigation revealed that, between August 30 and September 1, 2021, Mr. Laundrie had used Ms. Petito's debit card without authorization on his drive back to Florida from Wyoming.

After Ms. Petito's death, there were several text messages identified between Mr. Laundrie's telephone and Ms. Petito's telephone. The timing and content of these messages are indicative of Mr. Laundrie attempting to deceive law enforcement by giving the impression that Ms. Petito was still alive.

On September 15, 2021, Mr. Laundrie's Ford Mustang was recovered from the T. Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve and Myakkahatchee Creek Park in North Port, Florida.

On September 17, 2021, Mr. Laundrie's parents reported him missing shortly after law enforcement conducted a welfare check at their residence.

On September 18, 2021, law enforcement officials commenced an extensive search of the park where Mr. Laundrie's vehicle was parked and did not locate Mr. Laundrie. The area where Mr. Laundrie's remains were later found was part of this search area, but the area was submerged due to recent flooding at the time of this initial search.

On September 22, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for Mr. Laundrie. The warrant was issued pursuant to a Federal Grand Jury indictment for violation of federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 1029(a)(1): "Use of Unauthorized Access Devices" related to Mr. Laundrie's activities following the death of Ms. Petito.

On October 7, 2021, after law enforcement made a request through Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino, the Laundries provided personal effects to law enforcement which were to be used to assist in the search of the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

On October 20, 2021, after water had receded from the area and the park was reopened, Mr. Bertolino notified law enforcement that Mr. Laundrie's parents intended to return to the park to search for Mr. Laundrie. Law enforcement officers were present when Mr. Laundrie's parents located an item in the park later determined to belong to Mr. Laundrie.

Upon further search of the area, investigators found human remains later confirmed to be Mr. Laundrie, along with a backpack, notebook, and a revolver. A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Mr. Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms. Petito's death.

On November 23, 2021, the District 12 Medical Examiner's Office in Sarasota, Florida, released its report on the manner and cause of death of Mr. Laundrie. The report concluded Mr. Laundrie died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The FBI thanks all the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation including the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Teton County Sheriff's Office, Teton County Search and Rescue, Jackson Police Department, Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, Northport Police Department, Pasco County Sheriff's Office, Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Sarasota Police Department, Lee County Sheriff's Office, Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

A Home Depot employee has been arrested for swapping out $387,500 of the store's cash with counterfeit money, the U.S. Secret Service said in a news release Friday.

Adrian Jean Pineda worked as a vault associate in a store in Tempe, Arizona - where he was responsible for preparing cash from registers for bank deposits, a process that included counting cash and sealing cash bags for transfer and deposit to a Wells Fargo bank.

According to a criminal complaint, Pineda had been taking money from the deposits and replacing it with counterfeit currency during his shifts.

The Home Depot store reported losing $387,500 between January 2018 to January 2022 due to receiving counterfeit notes in their cash deposits, the U.S. Secret Service said.

Agents from the U.S. Secret Service office in Phoenix arrested Pineda on Monday and seized $5,000 in counterfeit money and recovered $5,300 in genuine currency, according to the news release. Agents recovered an additional $22,000 in genuine currency while conducting a search warrant on Pineda's home.

"This case illustrates the continued commitment of the Secret Service and the US Attorney's Office to investigating and prosecuting counterfeit violations," Frank Boudreaux Jr. of the U.S. Secret Service office in Phoenix said in a statement, adding that Pineda's arrest "marked the culmination of a strategic investigation enacted by Phoenix special agents, Home Depot security personnel and Wells Fargo Bank."

Pineda has been charged with uttering of counterfeit U.S. currency and is set to appear in court on Feb. 7 for a status hearing at the federal district court in Arizona.
