KIDNAPPINGS Ep. 1 | The Lindbergh Baby: “Crime of the Century”
On May 21, 1927, 25 year old Charles LIndbergh became the biggest star on the planet. He advanced the travel industry to a level many doubted was possible after completing the first ever solo flight from New York to Paris in 55 hours. That should have been the most dramatic moment of any person’s life, but it wasn’t for Charles. Five years later his 20 month old son was kidnapped from his home in Hopewell, New Jersey in circumstances so bizarre they made everyone suspect, from household staff to Al Capone, and captivated the world’s attention.

Introducing THE CHINATOWN STING
Here’s a preview of a new podcast, The Chinatown Sting from our friends at Pushkin Industries.
In the late 1980s, a group of women connected through the mahjong parlors in Manhattan’s Chinatown were caught in a massive undercover drug bust. But this bust was just the beginning of an even bigger case.
Host Lidia Jean Kott and co-reporter Shuyu Wang interview sources
who’ve never spoken on record before, including witnesses, defendants, and federal prosecutors, to reconstruct a case that still has repercussions today.
In this episode, we meet Tina Wong, a young mother who found herself in the middle of the operation with two choices—go to prison, or risk her life to bring down the man at the helm.
Listen to The Chinatown Sting wherever you get podcasts and binge the entire season, ad-free with a Pushkin+ subscription. Sign up on the Apple Podcasts show page or at pushkin.fm/plus

As the FBI’s investigation of local Boston art thieves fades, its investigation of crews linked to the Italian mob ramps up.

Eventually, the FBI declares partial victory and announces that it knows the identities of the thieves, but it does not know the location of the stolen items to this day.
