Jacob Altman murder NYC #usa

Diane Patrick
My grandmother’s nephew, Jacob Altman, was found murdered in his office in Oct. 1981. He was bound and gagged. The office was located at 315 W 55th St. I don’t know the borough in NY. I believe his wife was Helene and he had a daughter. I think her name was Randy. I am curious if the murder was ever solved. Any information would be appreciated.

Not sure how much this will help, but I believe Manhattan is the only borough that has a 315 W 55th St.
Perhaps try contacting the municipal archives or police department records. -- Yehuda Rubin Lakewood, NJ yehudazevrubin@...

Diane,
A Newsday article dated 10/21/1981 provides follow up information after the murder. The article states that Dr. Jacob Altman had been investigated for "unlawful drug prescriptions." The article says he had unlawfully prescribed controlled substances to two undercover agents posing as patients, according to court papers. Good luck in your search, Sherri Bobish Searching: RATOWSKY / CHAIMSON (Ariogala, Lith.); LEFFENFELD / FINK / KALTER (Daliowa & Jasliska, Pol.)
