An Unsolved Mystery

MERCY' MOTIVE IN KILLING OF EMILY GRIFFITH, read the afternoon paper on June 20, 1947. The article went on to tell how each woman had been shot in the back of the head. No motive or clues as to the murderer were ever proven. A former associate, Fred Lundy, was suspected of the killing. It was believed he might have been in love with Emily and performed a mercy killing. Florence, Emily's sister, was unwell and an ever increasing burden on Emily. No one knows for sure, as Fred committed suicide a few weeks later. This still remains an unsolved crime. Click on the newspaper to see the article.
