Yes I heard that too. There’s a few books out on the subject and websites. Personally I think it’s quite possible. Lindbergh had the personality traits of a sociopath, completely non-emotional which is why you rarely saw him smile even when they were giving him ticker tapes parade. And then his affinity with the Nazi party even though he knew what they were doing to the Jews. He reminds me a lot of Henrich Himmler, that same non-emotional state where you just know he could kill you and not think twice, just a walking corpse devoid of humanity

Here’s an interesting review:

Case Closed: Lindy did it.
By A Customer on August 26, 1998
Format: Hardcover
As a 25+ year law enforcement veteran, and current homicide detective (and NO, I was not involved in the O.J. investigation) my first impression upon hearing of this book and its premise, was to dismiss it out of hand. After all, I had read most everything else about the Lindbergh case and there had never been a hint that the kidnap was anything but real. Then I read the book. It’s true, the book is not exceedingly well written but these two guys are not professional journalists. What I sensed as I read was the presence of a fellow dogged police investigator (Monier) and, what I have begrugingly come to admire over the years: the skeptical mind of the criminal defense lawyer (Ahlgren). In tandem, their approach to sleuthing an old case is deadly. As I proceeded through the book all the crazy facts of the case which had never seemed to make sense to anyone, and which had provided much of the lure to the Lindbergh case, suddenly seemed to fall into place. The authors show in Lindbergh himself those personality traits which, in my own experience, are consistent with a parent who commits a terrible crime, and then concocts a cover-up. Did Lindy in fact do it? The authors are honest enough to conceed that Lindy as culprit is only one of many scenarios, although one that has previosly been overlooked by the journalists and other amateurs who have studied this case. For me, in my own experience, I’d say it’s the most likely explanation.
