Widow of Crater reveals details of missing justice case
New York attorney Emil K. Ellis disclosed that Stella Crater Kunz and her second husband left for Europe on a belated honeymoon aboard the Normandie to Germany. Ellis plans to seek probate of Joseph Force Crater's will, aiming to establish legal presumption of death under the Enock Arden rule and to pursue $15,500 in life insurance. He cites a note signed by Crater, found after his disappearance, saying I am very weary, Love, Joe, but says it does not indicate suicide. The note is used to support the death presumption for probate and insurance purposes.
