1960's Murder in Wissinoming

[Charlie23]

I'm trying to research a murder that happened in Wissinoming. I think it happened in the 1960s.

A body was found in a car dealership at Frankford Ave and Benner St. The building is still there, though it is a different dealership now. I think it was a Dodge dealership at the time.

All I can remember about it is, I was told the body was found "in the rafters" or "in the ceiling", and I think it was an employee that was arrested for it.

Does anyone remember this? If I could find an approximate date or a name, it would help.

Thank you,

As far back as the early 70s, before it was DeSimone, it was Northeast Dodge.

Thanks. Now that you said it, I remember it. Now if I could only get a date or name.

Is there a FB page about growing up in that section of Philly? I know there's one for South Philly. If so, that might be a good place to put out that question. I'm in two FB groups dedicated to memories of growing up in the Cleveland area, and we reminisce about everything -- from schools to holiday traditions, you name it.

Good luck on your search.

I've confirmed that it happened at the car dealership at Frankford Ave. and Benner St. It was Northeast Dodge (or possibly Dodge City) at the time. It's a possibility that it happened sometime between 1967 and 1970.

[NJbound]

was it a person who worked there who was murdered or who was the killer?
