I'm posting this here only because I've tried to contact ANYONE i thot could help me. I've contacted America's Most Wanted, Dateline, 24 Hrs Mystery, Nancy Grace, and any other show you can imagine AND THEN SOME.
My great aunt was a great gal by all account although eccentric. She became a WAC during WW2. She met a guy from Sheepshead Bay in NYC who owned either a pizza chain or butcher shop. I guess all went ok for awhile and once when on leave from the army she went back home to Providence and told family members that she thot something weird was going on in his shop. Right after that she went back to NY and was never heard from again.
I've been obssessed by this story for years and have come to no leads. One night I was at work and a co-worker whose very Brooklyn-centric came to me w/a paperback book by Jerry Capeci whos a mafia expert and teaches at some colleges. In his book as I thumbed thru it, all the names and locations seemed eerily similar to people my aunt prob married into. I sent Mr Capeci a letter and of course I never heard back. Of course my aunt thot there was an illegal gambling thing going on in the basement of the shop or such and was murdered b/c of it.
I'm trying to figure out how to get access to cold case files etc and have no idea where to begin. I'm sure she was murdered as she never contacted anyone after her last leave in the service and returned to NY.
Any detectives here?
