Jack Ruby was convicted of murder with malice and sentenced to the electric chair in March 14, 1964. Howard was the most likely man to head an effort to overturn Ruby’s death sentence in a retrial.

But an autopsy found that Koethe’s neck had been broken, apparently by a “single karate-style blow” to the throat. There were however signs of strangulation or asphyxiation. The motive was suspected to have been a simple case of robbery, but Koethe’s parents were said to have suspected other reasons.

It’s hard to reach any other conclusion based on available information. What we do have are the above unusual occurrences in her story.
