Chaim Weiss - 1986

15 year old Chaim Weiss was found dead in his bed at the Orthodox Jewis boarding school. None have been able to find out how the killer made it into his dormitory room. He was stabbed repeatedly.

There were several signs that the killer was aware of the victims religious belief. A window had been left open slightly in the victim's room, which, according to Orthodoxy, enables the spirit of the dead to depart. Beyond that, a lighted mourning candle was placed on Chaim's desk.

If anyone could come forward with information, his family would like to get some kind of closure.

15 years was a short time to be allowed to live. May he find peace where he is now.
