Judge Joseph Crater was spending the summer at his vacation home with his wife when he was called back home to take care of some business. While home, he caught dinner with some friends and was supposed to go see a play. He was never seen again after that dinner. Theories range from him running off with a mistress, to being murdered by the mob.
