One thought on “UNSOLVED HOMICIDE: CHAIM WEISS

  1. I don’t know if I should leave comments regarding Chaim Weiss here but I will. I have a few thoughts. I think Rabbi Cooper lit the second candle. I’m sure someone would be allowed into that room seeing that there was a candle burning. We are told not to leave lit candles! I wonder if the Jewish community has problems like the Catholic Church has with improper sexual relationships. The other students were so reluctant to speak, it seems. Thank you for your hard work.
