Yes, in the Lindbergh kidnapping case, a ransom of $50,000 was initially demanded for the safe return of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the kidnapped child. The Lindberghs paid the ransom; however, despite the payment, their son was found deceased weeks later. The case became infamous not only for the tragedy but also for the subsequent investigation and trial of Bruno Hauptmann, who was convicted of the crime.
