Putting It All Together
Salomon had to make a number of phone calls over the next several days in order to discover who the bones belonged to. The first phone contact he made was to the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office. He explained the situation. Yan Salomon’s initial purpose was to speak with the detective stationed there and discuss the case in more detail. Salomon described to the detective at the Sullivan office how he discovered the bones of a woman in the Catskills area during his interview with him. The investigator was overjoyed to be able to assist in the resolution of a decade-old case, and he chose to assist Salomon in identifying the body.
The Numbers Game
Every year in the United States, over 70,000 women are reported missing. A large proportion of the women on this list are cold cases, which accounts for the high number of women on the list. With Flora’s case in his hands, Salomon knew it would be impossible to handle everything on his own. But, with a little luck and a keen eye, he was determined to figure out what had happened to Flora, even if it meant figuring out who or what had killed her in the process.
