There’s a great new book out on the Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping. As you may recall, several years ago, we produced a one-hour television special on this case.

The book is entitled, “The Sixteenth Rail,” and it’s by Adam Schrager. I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy. It should be available online and in bookstores after April 1.

Schrager provides new information and details about what is arguably one of the greatest forensic science discoveries: The wood from Bruno Hauptmann’s attic was used to build the ladder found at the crime scene.
