In an incident widely known as the "Lindbergh kidnapping," the Lindberghs' first child, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., was kidnapped at 20 months of age from their home, Highfields, in East Amwell, New Jersey outside Hopewell on March 1, 1932.
After a massive investigation, a baby's body, presumed to be that of Charles Lindbergh Jr., was discovered the following May 12, some 4 mi (6 km) from the Lindberghs' home, at the summit of a hill on the Hopewell-Mt.
