Cops are called to a car with a "smell" coming from it. In the trunk is the owner of the car. A .22 pistol is in his hand and a .22 bullet in his head showing a contact wound.
The deceased is in his 40's with no history of mental problems nor enemies.
In the trunk they found the normal things we all have in our trunk right down to coat hangers.
Problem is the car. It has one of those "continental kits" on it. It is in the locked and closed position. That means the person got in the trunk, THEN the continental kit would have to be pushed into place, impossible from inside the trunk.
Listed as a murder the wife would collect $500,000. If it was a suicide she'd collect nothing. Maybe he had help and someone shut the trunk and closed the continental kit. But why? Murder? Suicide? Maybe the deceased did it all. Which was it?
1960 Minneapolis case.
