Charles Augustus Lindbergh died of lymphoma in Kipahulu, Maui, Hawaii. This marked the end of a life marked by extraordinary achievements, public scrutiny, and a complex legacy.

Richard Hauptmann was executed by electric chair at Trenton State Prison. This event marked the final act in the Lindbergh kidnapping case, bringing a conclusion to the legal proceedings and satisfying the public's demand for justice, though doubts about Hauptmann's guilt persist.
