Fear Baby Drowned by Woman with Mental Illness
New York police and psychiatrists pursued leads in the disappearance and possible drowning of six month old Jacob Horowitz. Gussie Friedman, 45, a woman with a history of asylum confinement, was detained after allegedly pushing a child toward the icy East River. Authorities questioned whether the child was her victim or the Horowitz infant lost in front of his Lower East Side home. Four hundred searchers scoured cellars and flats while detectives and river crews hunted the waterway. A witness, Louis Schnier, led to Friedman’s detention after he reported seeing his son with the suspect shortly before the incident.
