DNA Proves Lindbergh Led a Double Life

BERLIN, Nov. 28 — Genetic tests have proved claims by three Germans that Charles Lindbergh was their father and led a secret double life for almost two decades, a family adviser said Friday.

Anton Schwenk said DNA tests conducted by the University of Munich in October proved with 99.9 percent certainty that Dyrk and David Hesshaimer and their sister Astrid Bouteuil were Lindbergh's children.

....

Lindbergh started a romance with a Munich hat maker, Brigitte Hesshaimer, in 1957 when he was 55 and she was 32. They had three children: Dyrk, now 45, Astrid, 43, and David, 36.

A restless world traveler, Lindbergh spent 5 to 14 days with his family in Munich up to three times a year until he died in 1974. He and Ms. Hesshaimer kept the relationship a secret and the children knew the tall visitor only as "Mr. Careu Kent."
