Question 52
Write several newspaper headlines for this abridged story. Keep the facts accurate; distinguish what was found from what investigators suspected.
A local private detective, Jake Rush, was found crushed to death by a grease-pit hoist in an abandoned Pittman Street garage. His body was in a large plastic bag with a hole he apparently made while trying to escape. He held dusty remnants of jewels stolen from Groist Ltd. Crouch, Inc., an insurance agency, had hired him to help recover them. Detectives theorized that he tried to confront the criminals alone and was overpowered from behind. The jewels had apparently been hidden at the bottom of the pit, and Rush found them shortly before his death. It was uncertain whether his estate would receive the recovery reward.
