Throwback Thursday
In the late evening of March 1, 1932, Nurse Betty Gow went to check on her young charge, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., son of the famed aviator. The baby was missing and a ransom note left behind. Thus set off a nationwide hunt for the missing child and a search for his kidnapper. When this May 9, 1932 photo was taken, subway brakeman Robert Vincent Ogle and his son, Vincent, were in a New York police station before being released. A taxi driver had taken Ogle and his son to a boat in Boston, and became suspicious when the man lowered the cabin curtains. He called the police and Ogle and son were taken into custody when the boat docked in New York. Ogle produced a birth certificate showing the child was his. (AP Photo)
