Can murder ever be perfect?

One murder in the book of the New York Police Department has been declared that for almost a hundred years. 

The Perfect Murder of Fink

On the night of March 9, 1929 at around 10:30 pm police would find the corpse of Isidor Fink locked in his apartment. With no murder weapon, no forced entry, and no signs of a robbery,

Witnesses could not even give the police much to go on. With no way to begin the investigation the New York Police commissioner would  claim the case to be unsolvable.
