Since 1996, I have repeatedly reported, in one national exposé after another, on the new york city police department’s practice of “disappearing” crime. After several years of exposing the nycpd, I expanded my coverage to other urban police departments (and, when appropriate, their media acessories): Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, and Boca Raton.
Circa 2000, Boca Raton’s official, Uniform Crime Reports (UCRs) were recognized by the FBI as having been so corrupted that the Bureau refused to officially accept and record them. That FBI is no more, and I have not heard, over the past 20 years, of it ever refusing any jurisdiction’s fakestats.
I have reported, over the years, on several murders in New York that the NYCPD has disappeared, including the 18-month-old toddler Christopher Marchiselli, murdered by his own mother, and more recently, Jaclyn Elmquist, whom the NYCPD would have us believe, let herself into a luxury building with 24-hour security, where she knew no one, and where she went upstairs and “accidentally” forced herself into a narrow incinerator chute, where she was crushed to death by a trash compactor.
In 2013, Chicago Magazine reporters David Bernstein and Noah Isackson concluded that the Chicago Police Department had “disappeared” at least 10 murders in the previous year alone.
In 2012, I reported on the murder of Mrs. Gloria Cadet, 85. Mrs. Cadet was stabbed to death, surely by someone she knew, as there was no forced entry to her apartment in Brooklyn’s violent Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Although Mrs. Cadet had been stabbed to death, the nycpd wrote up her death as “accidental.” That reduced the number of murders that year by one. However, the family’s undertaker, Dr. Walter Corey, raised holy heck, and contacted the media, when he saw Mrs. Cadet’s blood-soaked corpse and the knife wounds on her.
The previous 2012 story I cited, by CBS New York, was much less graphic than the one I recently found, by the New York Daily News.
Note that the nycpd made no effort, to my knowledge, to catch Mrs. Cadet’s killer. There would have been a limited number of fingerprints in her apartment and on her doorknob and door frame.
I believe that someone in the NYCPD made the decision, as soon as he saw Mrs. Cadet’s corpse, to “disappear” her murder. Thus, there was nothing to investigate. After Dr. Corey exposed the initial cover-up, “the job,” as coppers like to refer to what they do, simply continued with Plan A.
“Slaying of Gloria Cadet, 85, puzzles kin”
“By Henrick Karoliszyn and Joe Kemp
“PUBLISHED: September 15, 2012 at 7:18 p.m. | UPDATED: January 10, 2019 at 1:58 p.m.
“RELATIVES OF AN 85-year-old woman found stabbed to death inside her Brooklyn home said they don’t know who could could be responsible for the senseless killing.
“Gloria Cadet had a towel around her head and was lying on the floor next to a couch inside her Jefferson Ave. apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant when her brother found her Friday morning, sources said.
“At first, authorities believed Cadet died from natural causes. The city’s medical examiner — who did not view the body in person — contacted a family doctor and called a funeral home, sources said.
“But as the funeral home workers lifted the body, they spotted blood pouring out of a stab wound to the back of the grandmother’s neck. Authorities determined the death was a homicide.
“‘When we thought she fell and hit her head, it was one thing,’ said Cadet’s granddaughter Gloria Oge-Alexis, 47. ‘To find out people came in the house and stabbed her is another. It’s horrible.
“Later on Friday, detectives were called to a shooting a few blocks away on Fulton St, where a 17-year-old boy was found shot multiple times.
“Kaiim Vieira — who sources said had more than a dozen arrests, including one for robbery — died while en route to Kings County Hospital. Police haven’t made an arrest.”
N.S.: The last two paragraphs didn’t belong in the Gloria Cadet story at all, unless the daily news editors were insinuating that Kaiim Vieira was Mrs. Cadet’s killer.

Correct. Drs. are required by law to report all stabbings and gunshots to the police. The doctor is right, this was not an accident.
If she ate that entire cake,a sugar overdose.If money was given to her by fambilee members as birthday gifts,then I would guess some negro relative wanted the pittance for themselves.
The small amount of money she probably received has no bearing on a black who wants it.They will kill for $20 as well as $200.
