In 1932 the son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh was kidnapped and later found dead-a crime that shocked America and the world. Bruno Hauptmann was tried convicted and executed for his role in the little boy's death. <p><i>Their Fifteen Minutes</i> is a unique collection of biographical essays filling in the blanks and providing background regarding the key figures involved in the case such as:<p>-Henry Red Johnson the first prime suspect<br>-Hans Kloppenburg Hauptmann's best friend<br>-Jafsie also known as Dr. John F.
