Elsie Siegel was the daughter of a prominent family in New York City. She would teach in Missionaries in lower Manhattan for Chinese people. One day her father received a telegram that she was in Washington D.C 

A Chinese man worried about his cousin who had not been seen in several days went to get the help of the police. The police officer opened the apartment belonging to the cousin. They would find a room completely empty with only a bed and a trunk. The trunk was bound with rope. When the policeman opened the trunk the found the naked body of a murdered young woman. 

That woman would be Elise Siegel and a nationwide manhunt would be underway for the suspected killer. The murder would be one of passion and the killer would ultimately get away, despite having his photo in every paper across the nation.
