The 2002 van with Pennsylvania plates was found in
Brownsville, police sources say. Law enforcement now believes that the Brooklyn
landlord was abducted and killed because of a debt owed to another businessman.
Police have found the Dodge Caravan used in the
abduction and murder of Brooklyn landlord Menachem Stark, the Daily News has
learned.
The 2002 van with Pennsylvania plates was found in
Brownsville, apparently early Tuesday, law enforcement sources said.
Detectives seized the vehicle as a man got in and
tried to drive off. The man was questioned but not charged.
Detectives now believe that Stark, who was abducted
in Wiliamsburg on Jan. 2 and found dead the next day in Great Neck, L.I., was
killed because of a debt owed to another businessman.
No one has been collared in the murder.
Sources said crime scene investigators are hoping
to find forensic evidence in the vehicle, which appears to have been washed and
cleaned.
Sources also said a cellphone found attached to the
undercarriage of Stark's personal vehicle has been linked to same businessman
who might be responsible for abducting Stark or hiring others to do so.
Detectives believe that the intent of the abduction
was to scare Stark, 39, into paying off his debt.
Instead, during a fierce struggle, detectives
believe, his abductors sat on him, suffocating him to death.
I am Mamesh Heart Broken. I live abroad, and did not know this “Kodosh” that was killed in cold blood personally, still I spent much time calling friends in USA asking them for their opinion on this tragic matter, I must say that I was shocked and pained by their answers!!! basically what they said in one way or another is: that “he deserved it” etc, Chas VeSholom to say so about another fellow Yid.

The only thing that bothers my friends is the front page of the NY Post, how low have we stooped Klall Yisroel? Why is there such a lack of Achudus by us?
