Called the "Crime of the Century," Charles Lindbergh, Jr. was abducted from the family's East Amwell home on the evening of March 1st, 1932. His body was found 2 months later. Bruno Hauptmann was convicted and executed but maintained his innocence. There are several theories suggesting another man, John Condon, was involved but this has never been proven.

Howard Barton Unruh killed 13 people (including three children) during a 12-minute walk through his Camden neighborhood on September 6, 1949.

Werner Foerster was killed in 1973 after a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. The racially charged shooting left Assata Shakur a monster to some and a hero to others.

Though she was imprisoned, she escaped in 1979 and fled to Cuba in 1984 where she received political asylum. She has been living in Cuba ever since.

Since May 2, 2005, the FBI has classified her as a domestic terrorist and offered a $1 million reward for assistance in her capture. On May 2, 2013, the FBI added her to the Most Wanted Terrorist List; the first woman to be listed.

The two North Bergen teens planned a trip to the Garden State Plaza on August 9th 1974. On August 14th, their bodies were found in a wooded area behind Rolling Ridge Road in Montvale, beaten, assaulted and strangled. The murders still remain unsolved.

The body of 25 year old Sigrid Stevenson was found on the main stage of the music hall (shown above), beaten and bloody. It is believed that she attended a show the night before her body was found and she had stayed after to practice the piano. She never left and according to some, she is still there today. There have been no suspects or leads in her murder and it remains a cold case.

On January 12th, 1984, 7 year old Gary Grant Jr. told his mother he had an "appointment" at 2:30 but would be back later. His mother simply believed he had a play date but when he did not return by that evening the family grew concerned. After contacting Gary's friends, his mother learned that he did in fact spend time with them but left to go home at around 4:30. What happened after that is a mystery. Several days later, his body was found bludgeoned in a parking lot just two blocks from the family's Atlantic City home.
