There are many unsolved mysteries around us. How are they fascinating to us? Isidore Fink, a thirty-year-old individual,became famous on the night of March 9, 1929,because of his mysterious death. The neighbors hear the screaming and the sounds of struggles at about 10:30 p.m. All doors and windows are locked from the inside. Only a small window was broken, but that was too small for an adult to go through it. Isidore Fink was found dead on the floor with three gunshot wounds. Isidore Fink was the owner of a small laundry in fifth Avenue with no enemies. No money or valuables were stolen. If this was a murder, why and how did the murderer kill him ?

the gun. There are some facts that prove the theory, too. One of the facts is no gun found anywhere in the room. Then another fact is the window was broken. The last fact is “ Fink’s burns indicated that he had been shot at the very close range. This theory looked highly unlikely because the only fingerprints found in the room was Fink’s. If the murderer climbed the window, there would be fingerprints left. And if this is the truth, then why did the murderer put so many efforts to kill a small laundry owner ? Some researchers felt that’s impossible, so this theory has been dismissed.The other reason for this theory is highly unlikely is that the neighbors heard the screaming at 10:30 p.m., and then one of the neighbors go bring the police. How can is the murderer escaping so fast in these few minutes so the police didn’t see him/her? The second theory is that this case was a suicide. Isidore shot himself with the gun silencer and one boy go through the small broken window and take the gun away. There are some facts of this mysterious case support the theory like no gun found anywhere, the window was broken, no money or valuables were stolen, and the door was locked from the inside. This theory looked unlikely and there is some evidence oppose it, too. The wounds on Fink’s body suggest this is a murder rather than the suicide. It is unlikely that he shoots himself in the chest. The third theory is that someone shot him through the broken window and the powder burns on his hands were from the other source. This theory explains why did the window were broken, the only fingerprints found in the room is Fink’s , and there is no gun anywhere. According to all the facts that listed above, this theory seemed likely. One question for this theory is why did the murderer kill him? If this theory is the truth, why did he/she shot him without any reasons? The most convincing theory is someone that Fink know, probably a friend or the customer of the laundry, visited his workplace, and Fink opened the door for him/her, this explains how did the murderer get in and why did the only fingerprints found in the house is Fink’s.
After the murderer shot him with the gun silencer, he/she could hide in the laundry room or somewhere in the house when the policemen arrived and escaped from the house after the policemen left. That explained how did the murderer escaping so fast.
Although we have some theories about this case, this criminal case still remains an unsolved mystery. No one knows what had happened to Isidore Fink on the night of March 9, 1929. According to the information on google, since 1960, there have been 200,000 cold cases and each year 6,000 other cases go cold in the US alone. If we understand the way of solving the unsolved mysteries, we will avoid more killings that have the similar structures. We are going to see the truth soon in the
future.
Ida Fink’s work, “The Table”, is an example of how old or disturbing memories may not contain the factual details required for legal documentation. The purpose of her writing is to show us that people remember traumatic events not through images, sounds, and details, but through feelings and emotions. To break that down into two parts, Fink uses vague characters to speak aloud about their experiences to prove their inconsistencies, while using their actions and manners to show their emotions as they dig through their memories in search of answers in order to show that though their spoken stories may differ, they each feel the same pain and fear.

As I looked up to the window above, I saw a rifle being pulled back in the window. It might have been resting on the windowsill. I didn't see a man.

Varying theories such as rational choice theory, trait theory, and social structure theory are commonly used to explain why crime happens. Application of these three theories in discussing the crimes of Richard Speck can help us to better understand which of the theories may apply and perhaps help give us insight into why he committed his crimes. But they are more beneficial when not looking at a single specific crime, but the person and all the crimes they may have committed throughout their criminal careers.
