Case Description
On November 4, 1928, 45-year-old Harry Getz was found dead from a gunshot wound in Rosalia, Washington. Earlier that day, he had cashed a $1 check at a local store and purchased a bag of potatoes for 25 cents. Shortly after leaving, he was shot in the side while driving. When his body was discovered, both the 75 cents in change and the potatoes were missing. Nearly a century later, Harry’s family continues to seek justice and advocate on his behalf, determined to keep his memory alive and his case from being forgotten.
