## Resource

In Part Two, Dr. John D. Van Dyke joins Chanley Painter to examine how the Lindbergh kidnapping became one of America's first viral conspiracy theories. They discuss the decades of claims that sought to clear Bruno Richard Hauptmann, why some people believed Charles Lindbergh was somehow involved in his own son's death, and how public distrust, celebrity, and sensational storytelling fueled those theories.
