Jake Rush, a local private investigator, was found dead, crushed by a grease-pit hoist in an abandoned garage on Pittman Street. His body was inside a large plastic bag, with a hole he apparently made while trying to escape. He held dusty remnants of jewels recently stolen from the internationally known Groist Ltd. diamond firm. Crouch, Inc., an insurance agency, had hired him to help investigate and recover the jewels. Detectives theorized that he tried to catch the criminals alone in their hideout and was overpowered from behind. The jewels had been hidden in a hole at the bottom of the pit; he found them just before his death. It remains uncertain whether his estate will receive the recovery reward.
