This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson revisits two of America’s most shocking and unforgettable crimes — cases that defined their eras and captured the nation’s imagination.
First, the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping, a crime so sensational it was called “the trial of the century.” When famed aviator Charles Lindbergh’s infant son vanished, a desperate nationwide manhunt ensued — and the suspect who finally faced justice would go to his death claiming innocence.
Then, travel to Dallas, 1963, as nightclub owner Jack Ruby guns down Lee Harvey Oswald, the man accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy. In one televised moment, Ruby ensured the world would never hear Oswald’s side — leaving behind one of history’s most enduring mysteries.
From ransom notes to conspiracy theories, these are the crimes that changed America forever.
