Judge Crater found?

Dead gal's secret letter may solve 1930 mystery

Judge Joseph Crater
Police may be on the brink of finally finding the remains of Judge Joseph Crater - and possibly solving the most enduring mystery in New York City history, investigators said yesterday.

A letter probably penned more than half a century ago has pinpointed a spot under the Coney Island boardwalk where Crater - last seen leaving a Times Square watering hole 75 years ago - is buried, they said.

The letter was written by an elderly woman who died of natural causes in June, they said.

...

For generations, Joseph Crater - a Tammany Hall stalwart, justice of the state Supreme Court and dapper man about town - has been what some newspapers have called "the most missingest man in America."
