The wife of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the man convicted and sentenced to death for the kidnap and murder of the Lindbergh baby, appeared before a wildly demonstrative crowd in Yorkville, the heart of the city’s German section, February 27, 1935. She asked for funds to appeal her husband’s conviction. In response, a box two feet square was stuffed nearly a foot deep with bills, but the amount raised was not announced.

Okay, so listening to the Diane: The Twin Peaks Tapes of Agent Dale Cooper reminded me of Cooper wishing he got to crack the Lindbergh kidnapping, and this moment takes place before the Laura Palmer case got solved.  Knowing Lynch as an artist, he probably wanted to connect Laura Palmer to the Lindbergh baby. Charles Lindbergh was basically a superhero to 20th century America, and even when he SHOULD have been a suspect for his son’s disappearance/death, no one was willing to touch him at the time, and even openly admitting you think it’s a possibility was on the fringes of society for decades even by the 90′s.  

What I’m saying is, lovable as they are as human beings, Cooper and the Twin Peaks police not suspecting Leland of killing Laura is dumb and sad but not implausible.  

#so casual viewers probably didn't make that connection on their own at the time #crime of the century: the lindberg kidnapping hoax wasn't published until 1993 #imo knowing lynch's actual views calling bs on the mythology around lindbergh sounds within his character #plus lynch had been in the film industry for decades. he's probably seen rich people get away with doing tons of terrible things scott-free #twin peaks #dale cooper #charles lindbergh #lindbergh kidnapping #twin peaks original series #agent dale cooper #crime #laura palmer #leland palmer #david lynch #mark frost #lynch frost #tv #television #90's tv #90's television

“Lindbergh Case Again Revived,” Kingston Whig-Standard. October 27, 1932. Page 6. ---- Man Held in Seville, Spain, Over Kidnapping of Last Winter ---- SEVILLE Spain Oct 26— At the request of the Unite States vice-consul, police today detained a man who gave his name as Jean Saul and arranged to send him to Madrid for questioning in connection with the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby.

He was apprehended after the United States consulate had received an anonymous note from two sailors who said they had talked with Saul in a saloon here and that "he seemed to know entirely too much about the Lindbergh kidnapping." 

The vice-consul asked the police to Investigate and it was discovered that Saul's identification papers wen incomplete. Police also said he made contradictory statements about his nationality, then declined to answer further question,s declaring that he would tell nothing now "until I can face the American police where I can expect fairness." 

At the consulate it was said that Saul speaks English with a heavy accent and It to suspected therefore the name he gave the police probably is an alias. 

Detectives who questioned him said he had admitted that he knew something about the kidnapping and the $50,000 ransom paid for the child's return. 

This morning police said they had found an unfinished letter among Saul's belongings. It read:

— "Dear BiIl— I'm afraid I’ve talked too much but I hope I haven’t compromised myself. You know how I am when I am drinking"

I know we live in a very different world now, but I find it concerning how the newspapers printed all these kids' addresses. Did any harm ever come from that, to your knowledge?

I feel like the concept of your address being private information is a very modern one. Any news story until the mid-20th century (and much later in small towns/rural areas) would include the addresses of the individuals involved. Even the smallest towns printed yearly city directories that listed everyone's current address and occupation. So I can't imagine anyone would hesitate to publish a child's address, as why bother concealing what was already considered public information?

Furthermore, the concept of stranger kidnapping - and 'stranger danger' in general - was not something that really entered the public consciousness in the US until the 1920s, and even then the vast majority of kidnappings were for ransom. It was something that happened to rich people, usually in big cities.

It wasn't until several extremely high profile kidnappings of children in the late 20s/early 30s (namely Marion Parker, Walter Collins and Charles Lindbergh Jr.) that the concept of a stranger taking your child would probably have even crossed the mind of the average parent.

Additionally it's important to understand that the role of small town newspapers (where most of the Dear Santa letters are from) was something closer to Facebook or the Nextdoor app than a source of important news. Going on a trip? It's in the newspaper. Having a small dinner party? That's getting reported, along with the guest list, menu, party favors and any decorations you put up. Your child built a particularly nice snowman? There's a reporter here and entire town will know before dinner time.

So is it possible that some burglar used a Dear Santa letter to target the home of a wealthy child sometime in the 1890s? Sure? But I can't see why in an era where if you wanted to know where someone lived you could stop any random person on the street and say "Hey, where do the Johnsons live?" and no one would hesitate to tell you.

Barely a day after former President Donald Trump was indicted for the third time, some Senate Republicans are already trying to undermine the credibility of the federal judge who was randomly assigned to preside over his trial.

Here’s a detail they’re hoping you won’t notice: They unanimously voted to confirm her.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), speaking on his podcast on Wednesday, accused U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of being “relentlessly hostile” to Trump and claimed that she has “a reputation for being far-left, even by D.C. District Court standards.”

But Cruz voted to put Chutkan into her seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in June 2014. So did every other Senate Republican when she was unanimously confirmed, 95-0.

That includes Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who nonsensically claimed Wednesday that “any conviction in D.C. against Donald Trump is not legitimate.”

“The judge in this case hates Trump,” Graham said in a Fox News interview. “You can convict Trump of kidnapping Lindbergh’s baby in D.C. You need to have a change of venue. We need a new judge. And we need to win in 2024 to stop this crazy crap.”

Aides to Cruz and Graham did not respond to requests for comment on how the senators square their votes to confirm Chutkan with their criticisms of her ability to be a fair judge.

Tuesday’s federal indictment of Trump accuses him of serious crimes related to the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Chutkan, a Jamaica-born former assistant public defender and an appointee of former President Barack Obama, has already been overseeing cases related to the Jan. 6 attack. She’s handed out some of the most aggressive sentences yet to rioters who took part in the violence that day. Of the 11 cases that have come before her, she imposed tougher sentences than those sought by the Justice Department seven times and matched what the Justice Department was seeking four times, according to an Associated Press review.

In all 11 cases, Chutkan sentenced the defendants to prison time.

This is what is likely driving the GOP attacks on Chutkan: They know she’s not likely to go easy on Trump now.

Beyond trying to discredit the judge, some Republicans, like Graham, are parroting Trump’s absurd demand for a change of venue. The former president has called for moving his case to the “more diverse” and “politically unbiased nearby State of West Virginia!” (Virginia and Maryland are much closer to D.C., for what it’s worth.)

Not a single Republican raised concerns about Chutkan during her nomination hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee in February 2014. In fact, only one GOP member of the committee even showed up to the hearing: Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), who was only there to rave about a separate Texas judicial nominee on the schedule. He left before Chutkan was up.

Cruz and Graham were both members of the committee at the time.

Neither attended Chutkan’s hearing.

Even to the last, Bruno Richard Hauptmann drew a crowd. This was the “Gallery” that watched and waited outside the Fresh Pond Crematory in Queens on April 6, 1936 as a simple service was held for the executed Lindbergh baby slayer and the body cremated.

Hi Sam! I seem to recall you may be a true-crime aficionado. Maybe more than just museum heists? I'm watching Murder on the Orient, and was doing a little digging into the Lindbergh kidnapping. Do you have any opinions about whether Bruno Hauptmann was actually guilty? Seems a bit fishy to me, three years after the fact, that they hang the conviction on a blue-collar immigrant. Also here's my baby kitties!

AW ORANGE BABIES.

[ID: Three images of fluffy orange tabby cats; in the first one is lying on some silky fabric with a ball of yarn, and in the second two cat butts with tails are visible behind some blinds in a window. In the third a cat is lying on its back with front paws stretched over its head, displaying a very fluffy belly.]

I do enjoy a spot of true crime now and again although lately I've moved away from direct true crime media and more into analysis of it, which feels a little less exploitative. Some true crime reporting can genuinely be useful and informative and keep a dialogue open about victimhood, policing, the carceral state, and such, but it's a fine line to walk.

I had thought that we'd pretty much laid to rest the idea that Hauptmann had anything to do with the Lindbergh kidnapping, since the evidence used against him was I think mainly shit made up by reporters after the fact, but when I googled to see I found it's still very much under debate. I don't think there's any denying that Haputmann was brutally railroaded, but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't do it.

I don't think Hauptmann did it simply because he was such an easy target, but I haven't done a deep enough dive on this case to have formed a strong opinion. The newer a theory of the crime is, the wilder it tends to be, so I'm skeptical of some of these "Lindbergh did it himself" theories, but they do at least point up what a weird fashy eugenicist Lindbergh was, and I think more people should know about that. (One of the more popular but rather unfounded theories is that the child was disabled in some way and Lindbergh killed him rather than admit he or his wife had "faulty" genes.)

I think ultimately who did it doesn't really matter, given everyone involved is assuredly dead by now; I think it's more useful as a jumping-off point to discuss the flaws in the justice system and the unfairness of privilege when it comes to who gets attention and who doesn't. I think it's much like how Hallie Rubenhold treats Jack the Ripper; when asked by "ripperologists" who she thinks Jack was, she says that she doesn't care -- she's interested in the victims and their place in society (both historical and contemporary) and the phenomenon of the deep misogyny that is at the heart of our discourse on Jack the Ripper.

can u explain the lindbergh baby to labyrinth movie pipeline

how the murder of the lindbergh baby led to labyrinth (1986)

in the 1930s the lindbergh baby (child of charles lindbergh) is kidnapped and later found murdered. this becomes a media firestorm, with every newspaper commenting on this as it happens

this traumatizes a young maurice sendak, as it is the first moment he really understands his mortality and that he as a child is not safe. the image of the lindbergh baby sticks with him his entire life

maurice sendak grows up and becomes an accomplished author and illustrator. he decides to put his childhood fear to rest with a book called outside over there

in outside over there, a young girl wishes she didn’t have to take care of her baby brother, and he is kidnapped away by goblins. she has to venture into “outside over there” to save him.

jim henson, in the midst of planning his next movie, reads the book and realizes it would be great source material for his next film. outside over there is credited as source material in the credits of, and appears as a prop in one scene of……

LABYRINTH (1986)

TLDR there’s two possible worlds: The one where the lindbergh baby survived, and the one where we have David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth (1986)

Regarded as one of Agatha Christie’s greatest achievements, Murder on the Orient Express was first published as a novel in 1934.

The very first publication of the story was in a six-instalment serialisation in the Saturday Evening Post in 1933 in the US, under the title, Murder on the Calais Coach.

The book is dedicated "To M.E.L.M. Arpachiyah, 1933" – Agatha Christie’s second husband, Max Edgar Lucien Mallowan.

It’s likely that the story was drafted when Christie was on an archaeological dig with Max in Arpachiyah, Iraq, although The Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul has an Agatha Christie Room where, it claims, she wrote Murder on the Orient Express.

The story was partly inspired by the Lindbergh case; a shocking real-life case following the kidnapping of international hero, Charles Lindbergh’s, 20-month old son who was held for a $50,000 ransom. The ransom was paid, but unfortunately Lindbergh’s son was never returned.

The story was also inspired partly by an incident in 1929 when the Orient Express was trapped in a blizzard in Çerkezköy, Turkey, where it was marooned for six days! Two years later Christie was involved in a similar scenario when she was travelling on the Orient Express and the train got stuck for a period of time due to heavy rainfall and flooding, which washed part of the track away!

Christie first travelled on the Orient Express in 1928 which also happened to be her first solo trip abroad. This was to become the first of many trips on the train.

Agatha Christie’s notable attention to detail is evident throughout the novel. While writing it, she checked cabin layouts, door handles and light switches, noting down their positions. These crucial details would lead Poirot to solve the case.

The dust jacket blurb on the first edition reads: ‘Murder on the Orient Express must rank as one of the most ingenious stories ever devised.’

In 1974 the book was adapted for the big screen. Directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot, the film was the 11th highest grossing film of the year.

At the age of 84, Agatha Christie made her last public appearance at the royal premiere of the film in London.

In 2015 Murder on the Orient Express was ranked as the second World’s Favourite Christie, which ranked And Then There Were None in the top spot and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd in third place.

“Love of luxury and the companionship of flashily dressed "molls" formed the inspiration for Detroit's dread Purple Gang, police say. Hated by the underworld enemies of Marry Fleischer, fugitive lender of the mob, shown in inset, left above, say he may have engineered kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. In circle is Irving Rappoport, alleged gunman of the gang, once believed smashed, but now supposed to have regained its strength. At the left. kindly 70-year-old Dr. John F. Condon, lecturer at Fordham university, now revealed as the "Jafsie," whose advertising notices in New York newspaper are believed to have established communication with the Lindbergh kidnappers. A series of about I3 "public notices" are believed to have led up to payment of the ransom money and to negotiations for the return of the child which failed cruelly at the last moment.”
