.Their Murders Still Unsolved

Listed on police records throughout United States are dozens of murders which have never been solved. Among the most mysterious and sensational are four which aroused nation-wide attention. It was on June 8, 1931, that the battered body of Starr Faithful, beautiful New York model, was found on the beach at Long Island. Hundreds of clues were examined but nothing resulted. Back in 1892 the eyes of the world were focused on New Bedford, Mass., where Lizzie Bordon was on trial charged with the axe murders of her mother and stepfather. She was acquitted and lived in solitary silence until her death 10 years ago. Sudden death cut short the revelry of Vivian Gordon, Broadway playgirl whose bullet-riddled body was found in New York’s Van Cortland park on Feb. 26, 1931. Police explained the crime as due to fear by the underworld that she would testify in a vice crusade then in Tragic climax to the case came when her 16-year-old daughter committed suicide because of the scandal. Killing of Jake Lingle, Chicago reporter, in a, Michigan boulevard subway on noon of June 9, 1930, caused a serration. It was thought his activities as police reporter and investigator of underworld rackets may have resulted in his "knowing too much”. Leo Brothers, alleged St. Louis gunman, was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years in Joliet but still maintains his innocence.
