In Daniel L. Schafer’s book Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley: African Princess, Florida Slave, Plantation Slaveowner, the life of a somewhat mysterious African born woman is broken down.

Police were contacted and they found not just the body but special glasses and a sock (Rompalske 26). The glasses were owned by Leopold and he was brought in for questioning.

Who killed Lindbergh’s baby? Charles Lindbergh Sr. was a famous pilot who won the $50000 transcontinental flight challenge from New York to France.

The hope that Charles Lindbergh Jr. would find his way back to the diminished on May 12, 1932, two months after the kidnapping. A baby’s remains, later to be recognized as the Lindbergh’s child, was found by a trucker’s helper in the woods a few miles from the Lindbergh’s residence. The corpse was decaying
