Death Unsolved In New York Dentist Murder
Detectives admitted little headway in the investigation of dentist Dr. Jacob Gross shot in his office while bending over a patient. A year ago he prepared a list of assets to leave to his wife if danger arose. Police found no clear income source for his high earnings and the search for a young woman once arrested on a statutory charge failed. A theory suggests a thief fled after the shooting, but no motive is established.
