Dane Claims to Be Kidnapped Son of Colonel Lindbergh
Rec. 10 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 3. An 18-year-old Danish farm hand, Erik Nielsen, who is working in Hoejby, a village 60 miles northwest of Copenhagen, has claimed that he is Colonel Charles Lindbergh’s son, who was kidnapped on March 1, 1932, says the British United Press correspondent in Copenhagen., [The kidnapping of Colonel Lindbergh's infant son created a sensation throughout the world. In the United States, where Colonel Lindbergh was something of a national hero through having achieved several air records, including a solo flight to Paris, the clamour created by the crime was tremendous. Thousands of clues were followed, but no trace of the child could be found, nor could his death be established.]
