Page 8 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • February 24, 2010 Mahwah Ainsworth explores ‘Crime of the Century’ Thomas Ainsworth will present “The Lindbergh Kidnapping: The Real Story” at the Mahwah Library at 7 p.m. on March 3. When the body of the infant son of Charles Lindbergh was discovered in the Sourland Mountains, a national manhunt began. Was this an inside job? How was the perpetrator apprehended? Why did it take so long? What effect did the media blitz have on the trial? Was the evidence manufactured? Did the right man die in the electric chair? Was the lone participant caught the only guilty party? Would modern forensic techniques have made a difference? Ainsworth will explore the many theories and offer facts about the trial that gripped the nation. This military history specialist’s interests include reenacting, theater, and war gaming. The program is free. No tickets or registration are necessary. Seats will be available on a “first come” basis.
