Murder of Veronica Gedeon

[4] Gedeon appeared at an Illustrators Society show for models which was raided by members of the New York City Police Department on November 8, 1935.

In Party Girl, Pretty But Cheap, and I Am A White Slave photographs showed her "flimsily clad", beaten, smothered, and tied up.

They moved to 316 East 50th Street, where Gedeon's mother, Mary, ran a rooming house until December 5, 1936, when the establishment was turned over to a superintendent.

[2] The family relocated to an apartment at 316 East 50th Street (Beekman Place in the Turtle Bay neighborhood), where Gedeon's mother took in boarders.

In late June 1937 a Cleveland, Ohio, hotel employee recognized Irwin, whose photograph appeared in the periodical True Detective Mysteries.
