Star Manhattan Real Estate Broker Linda Stein Murdered in Her Apartment

November 1, 2007

Last night, Manhattan Real Estate Broker Linda Stein was found murdered in her apartment at 965 Fifth Avenue. Everyone is covering the developing story. She had a famed life with connections to lots of stars including The Ramones, Madonna, Sting and Billy Joel. So naturally the media is focusing on her life story.

News of such nature is always sad to hear. However, the part that I find interesting is how something like this could happen in such a secure Manhattan Co-op apartment building. The building has the supposed security of video surveillance, a doorman and elevator operator - yet nobody saw or heard anything suspicious. How can this be? I’m sure the doorman and elevator operator remember who they saw that evening. Could the murderer be a resident within the building? Maybe. I’m sure we’ll learn soon enough.

According to The New York Times:

Ms. Stein’s body was found face down in the living room in a pool of blood, the police said. She was wearing a sweatshirt with a hood, which was pulled over her head. Investigators at first believed the bleeding could have resulted from a fall, but when the hood was pulled back, a severe skull injury was exposed. Yesterday, the medical examiner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Although I did not know her personally, I send my deepest condolences to the entire Stein family.

    I felt like I knew her because I read about her often in New York magazine. What a terrible thing to happen.

    hi rhea!

    i know how you feel. it’s amazing how a celebrity or public figure can sneak into our subconsciousness just by reading about them.

Got something to say?
