Amazingly, this case hasn't been posted on WS -- till now: the mysterious death of Brooklyn labor organizer Jan Stackhouse, 52, on 01 May 2005. Murder, or bizarre accident? Whichever, this case is hugely interesting, and its Stockbridge MA locale is also quite interesting, being near the setting of perhaps America's first work of literature citing an unsolved murder.
Was it a fatal accident, its cause covered up by cowards who left the scene? Or perhaps the rough handiwork of the insane man who inhabited caves about a mile away? Or, perhaps, the boyfriend of the woman near whose property Stackhouse's body was found? Or someone else, lurking in the long Berkshire shadows? A person of interest has never been identified -- let alone a suspect.
