The Unsolved Murder of Frank Morzin
An inquest is scheduled for the discovery of a body in the woods near Summit, but authorities report no leads.
The inquest into the death of Frank Morzin, whose body was found in the woods near his home at Summit last Sunday morning, will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the court house. Coroner Shaver says that from all his investigations he has not found even a tangible clue to the murderer. The funeral will be held Sunday morning at 8:30 o'clock from St. Leo's church. Interment will be in Calvary cemetery.
“Coroner Shaver says that from all his investigations he has not found even a tangible clue to the murderer.”
Summit was a rural area on the outskirts of Tacoma at the time; the discovery of a body in the woods points to the semi-wild nature of Pierce County’s fringes a century ago. This unsolved case remains a ghost story of the local archives.
