Two months and 11 days later a truck driver discovered a baby's body in a shallow grave in a wooded area on the other side of Hopewell, within miles of the Lindbergh's East Amwell Township home.
The autopsy report couldn't identify the baby because of it being so decomposed. So therefore it couldn't help them. The parent's were asked to identify the baby, soon they did and right aways it was cremated. But was it really the Lindbergh baby? Many people have came up and said many times that they were the missing baby, Charles Lindbergh.
A German immigrant from New York City, Bruno Hauptmann, was convicted of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder in Flemington in 1935, in a trial that drew worldwide attention. People still debate hotly the fairness of that "Trial of the Century" and the evidence introduced in it. Bruno Hauptmann was executed in New Jersey's electric chair in 1936.
After many years, everyone was sure that an innocent man was executed.
To this day no one for sure knows if the baby is really alive or not. Some police investigators say that it's alive and some say that it isn't. However, they all seem to say that they can prove it.
