I'm still baffled how the court made every belive there was a real kidnap with no fingerprint, didn't the employees come in to see Charley that night?     I think most people accept was is told them by the court, even when overwhelming evidence points in a different direction.   

I think in order for any serious case agaist the State of New Jersey (Hauptmann Case), and claimant against the  estate (Charles Jr.), needs to be a combined case, and the case looses ground seperatly, because it needs to be proved Charley is not dead at the same time Hauptmann is at least not guilty of kidnap.   Hauptmann's Wife lost because there is statute limitation on kidnap, but if Charley is alive, Hauptmann can't be guilty of murder and Lindbergh lied to cover something other than kidnap, both cases need each other.
