ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 6-month investigation into what has been called the "crime of the century" may finally answer the question, who kidnapped Charles Lindbergh Jr., according to Local 6 News.
The Lindbergh kidnapping remains shrouded in mystery today, 70 years after the crime, Local 6 News reporter Mike Holfeld reported.
Three months after the baby was kidnapped in 1932, the toddler's remains were found still clothed in a nightshirt about four miles from the Lindbergh home.
Local 6 News reported that the baby's death has had a lasting impact on Lindbergh's children and grandchildren.
"It's been devastating for us down through the generations," Morgan Lindbergh said.
However, Local 6 News reported that Orlando resident Robert Aldinger has gone public with a theory that is backed with historical evidence.
"I am either Robert Aldinger or I am Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr.," Aldinger said.
Aldinger's controversial theory prompted a Local 6 News investigation through the Lindbergh archives in New Jersey.
Local 6 Problem Solver Mike Holfeld reported that there is new evidence that could prove Aldinger's case.
In a series of reports, Local 6 News will review the original detectives interviews, take viewers to the crime scene and show you evidence to which forensics experts of the day didn't have access.
See the first part of the series Monday at 11 p.m.
