If she heard a scream seems she would have heard gunfire. <br />I’d like to know more about what a gas iron is and how it was made. Safety wasn’t a big concern in early 20th century either.

They should have suspected the killer be still inside unless they knew he wasn't. Secondly i do not think the police would have degraded they're reputation by fabricating this story. So majorly this leads me to believe the first officers entering the crime scene probably should have been looked into.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100944913915475955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-36364478762812971612016-09-10T02:44:20.886-07:002016-09-10T02:44:20.886-07:00I'm interested to know if there were actual bu...I'm interested to know if there were actual bullets found in him. As he was ironing at the time of his death, could the iron have overheated somehow, building with pressure and steam, and causing a small projectile/s to fly out of the iron at great speed. Since one entry wound is in the wrist/hand, this hand could have been holding the iron; the other two entry wounds in the chest, one of which could be caused by the same projectile as the wrist, caused by Fink leaning forward over the iron as one might doAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03801622880099067880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-30905969419431121422016-07-04T18:25:56.882-07:002016-07-04T18:25:56.882-07:00murderer is still in the room hidden and when open...murderer is still in the room hidden and when opened door the killer escaped or is still in the room with blanket over him perhaps pretending to be statue or something else bundled in cltohes or body was moved there speedily then small child crawled thru to get out with help <br />instead of asking boy when they saw him they asked him to open it <br />now killers are laughing at cops ptariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573220852945799953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-39815363410431565722014-04-29T02:32:17.641-07:002014-04-29T02:32:17.641-07:00An interesting locked room mystery but far from an...An interesting locked room mystery but far from an unsolvable one. Here are some possible explanations:<br />1. It was suicide - The boy removed the gun before opening the door for the police.<br />2. It was murder - The killer simply locked the door from the outside using a piece of string to turn the key/bolt, then removed the string.<br />3. It was suicide - Fink shot himself with a gun connected to a rope leading through the open window, and had an accomplice remove the weapon & rope from outside the door prior to the police arriving.<br />4. It was murder - Fink was shot through the open window. The powder burns on his hands were from another source.<br />5. It was murder - The police man was in on it and only pretended the door was locked. A similar explanation - the police records were falsified.<br /><br />There are quite a few other explanations, but I guess we'll never know!

How could a killer have gotten away in the time it took for an iron not to burn cloth? And, in respect to the locked-room, if the killer was not someone who would be suspected, why would someone go to the trouble too escape from a locked room? If the killer thought he would be suspected, a locked room wouldn't keep him free of that suspicion. Another strange crime. And I like the sub-title under the headline: shot to "dead".John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.com
