Great find! One can never tell. The 6 or 7 year gap between the crimes may throw a monkey wrench into the spanner. Thank you for clearing up the time frame for me on her murder date.

The factory that was directly east of the Kaldenberg residence was the American Brass. It ran north to south from 63rd to 65th street and east to west from 14th avenue to 20th avenue. The Kaldenbergs lived in the side street between 20th and 21st street, so it wasn't facing the Brass but the...
