"The Lindbergh Conspiracies" host Joe Nocera joins CBS News correspondent Jim Axelrod for a discussion about one of the most infamous true crime cases of the 20th century. The 1932 kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh’s infant son captivated the world and became one of the first media frenzies of the modern era. But did convicted kidnapper Bruno Hauptmann act alone or was there more to the story? Learn why this case has been the subject of countless conspiracy theories.

Veteran reporter Joe Nocera, of The Free Press, investigates a 94-year-old murder case that deserves a second look: the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Little Lindy was the infant son of the most famous man in the world at the time: an aviator who had achieved impossible feats.

Hauptmann professed his innocence to the end: but could he have been telling the truth? This is a series that asks: was this case America's first great conspiracy?
