Winner of the 2004 New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance Book Award for Scholarly Non-Fiction | Named a 2005 Honor Book by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities Essential reading for anyone interested in the most famous American crime of the twentieth century Since its original publication in 2004, The Case That Never Dies has become the standard account of the Lindbergh kidnapping. Now, in a new afterword, historian Lloyd C. Gardner presents a surprise conclusion based on recently uncovered pieces of evidence that were missing from the initial investigation as well as an evaluation of Charles Lindbergh’s role in the search for the kidnappers. Out of the controversies surrounding the actions of Colonel Lindbergh, Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the New Jersey State Police, and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, Gardner presents a well-reasoned argument for what happened on the night of March 1, 1932. The Case That NeverDies places the Lindbergh kidnapping, investigation, and trial in the context of the Depression, when many feared the country was on the edge of anarchy. Gardner delves deeply into the aspects of the case that remain confusing to this day, including Lindbergh’s dealings with crime baron Owney Madden, Al Capone’s New York counterpart, as well as the inexplicable exploits of John Condon, a retired schoolteacher who became the prosecution’s best witness. The initial investigation was hampered by Colonel Lindbergh, who insisted that the police not attempt to find the perpetrator because he feared the investigation would endanger his son’s life. He relented only when the child was found dead. After two years of fruitless searching, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German immigrant, was discovered to have some of the ransom money in his possession. Hauptmann was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. Throughout the book, Gardner pays special attention to the evidence of the case and how it was used and misused in the trial. Whether Hauptmann was guilty or not, Gardner concludes that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of first-degree murder. Set in historical context, the book offers not only a compelling read, but a powerful vantage point from which to observe the United States in the 1930s as well as contemporary arguments over capital punishment.

Mr [Gerry Bourke] said he had no problem with obeying the law if it was \"evenly applied\". He said that the local authority had taken no action over a temporary compound and fencing erected by the Corrib gas developers for the onshore pipeline works between Aughoose and Glengad. The two were suspended, and a spokesman for the company said this followed a \"minor incident\" which caused \"minimal damage to a hotel bedroom\".

MARK COLVIN: In the Northern Territory a new study has confirmed there's a widening health gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Research in Darwin shows that the health status of indigenous people is falling further and further behind the rest of the population. The Menzies School of Health Research has spent three years trawling through the death notices since 1967, and has pieced together a picture of indigenous mortality rates in the Northern Territory over 35 years. And while the results are mixed, Dr John Condon says there's been a big drop in indigenous death rates over that time. JOHN CONDON: Unfortunately, for Australians generally, mortality rates have fallen to an even greater extent than we found for indigenous people here. So unfortunately, since the 60's, the gap between indigenous people's mortality, their risk of death, and that for all Australians is actually greater than it was 40 years ago.
