It sounds like something out of a crime novel, and often times, stores such as these are. But the murder of Isador Fink was very real. His neighbor heard screams and called the police, but no one could get inside. After sending a small boy through a tiny window, they finally got in. There was no murder weapon which meant it wasn't a suicide, no other fingerprints, no money taken, and several locks locked from the inside. Who could have committed a seemingly impossible crime?
