    This is the painting I tried to attach in my last post....my idea of Pauline at the piano. I am neither a real artist nor writer, but I had no pictures to put in the book like the master bedroom, the long hallway toward the sleeping porch, Pauline's bedroom, the house from the outside, etc. so...

    [IMG]http://C:\Users\Sylvia\Pictures\p I can never forget about Pauline. When I wrote a book about the case, I had only one picture of the inside of the house (I lived there myself), so I painted the living room staircase beside which I play on my first piano, only I picture Pauline there...

    It was such a post-Victorian age and mostly young girls were pretty prim and proper. Also, I guess because Pauline was from an orthodox Jewish home, I tend to think of her as the typical young lady of the era. Incest had been mentioned, but who knows.....and no one would have believed her in...

    Yes and actually, the local paper quoted Mr Amsel saying the "intruder" asked to be let go, so why a middle aged man would want to fight and follow the "intruder" out of the house to the street (another Amsel quote in the news) seems questionable. It seems that the logical suspects, the people...

    Hopefully some one has tried that avenue. I didn't research that very much. Maybe because I feel strongly that local lawmen were the primary source for this case not being solved. I can find no mention that they called in any other agencies, which seems illogical to me, but I try hard to...

    I have gone through all the posts about Pauline Amsel’s murder and will try to answer some of the questions and speculations from what I have gleamed from my research. I have not found any OFFICIAL records from local lawmen, territorial lawmen, detective agencies, coronary reports, or other...

    After writing 90+ pages with almost 50 references about this case and from my own perspective from living in the Amsel house, I stressed the same premise! Just one example about all those weapons.....one news report quoted Mr. Amsel saying the "intruder" used some kind of plastic knife on him...

    Hello sleuths who are interested in what happened to Pauline. I am writing about the mystery because I lived in the same house for ten years. So much of the account from the father and the doctor did not make sense to me in that house. At 30 pages I though I had finished the book, but I now...

    An X marks the spot where the bullet hole was. It is in the front, southeast BR....supposedly Pauline's room directly across from the logical master bedroom which has FP (fireplace) and B (bathroom). The hole was about 5 feet up from the floor as I remember. We always took for granted the...

    Do we have nothing but newspaper reports of Mr. Amsel's account? Or, have I missed something?

    there were like 2 steps up to get into the long hallway....then, the 23-25 feet to her bedroom door. Just doesn't seem possible she could do that. In answer to someone's comment, the sleeping porches were at the back West...just about 3 car widths from the alley. "Pauline's room" was at the...
