Death of Isidor Fink

Isidor Fink

Isidor Fink was a Polish Jew, who in the beginning of 20th century moved to United States. He settled in New York City, 4 East 132nd Street, where he opened his laundry business called Fifth Avenue Laundry. He lived in the rooms attached to the laundry, where he was found dead on the night of March 9, 1929.

The circumstances of his death are called the original locked room mystery since it has all the trademarks associated with this once very popular kind of mystery stories (especially in fiction and detective stories). But the same circumstances put this story in the realm of urban legends, rather than in the annals of police history.

Death of Isidor Fink comments

Have you guys considered that the killer might be one of the Mr Fink’s neighbours. Here’s the reason of my conjecture: I looked at Wikipedia, stating that the neighbours called the police as soon as they heard the scream, hence it is almost impossible for the killer to escape. However,the killer( pretending that he is a neighbour of Fink) might have just slipped past by calling the police.

Gun silencers don't actually silence guns except on tv. They do change the sound and make it hard to pinpoint where it's coming from. You can see videos of what gun silencers sound like on YouTube. So that's probably not the explanation for why a gun wasn't heard.
