Ship Death Theorized In Far East Case
The ship death report continues with Dr. Stanley Spector discounting self harm as the cause. Mrs Kauffman, 23, a secretary and Orient scholar, was on a voyage from Boston to New York returning with Mrs Spector and children plus a Chinese youth the Spectors planned to adopt. Spector, who had flown ahead, says she was murdered after missing Friday night. He described her as happy and brilliant and hinted at murder, while rejecting a female suspect as unlikely.
