In the summer of 1933 45-year-old Anna Ulm was staying at a cottage on Lake Hopatcong in Mount Arlington, New Jersey with her sister. On the morning of August 13, 1933, Anna told her sister she was going to go pick flowers. She did not return back that night and her sister called the police and reported her missing. Searchers were sent out to find the woman.
Anna would be found hanging from a tree by searchers. It was initially believed that she had committed suicide, but it was found to be false. Someone had beat her with a heavy stone crushing her head with it. They then hung her from the tree possibly hoping that people would think she had killed herself.
It's unknown what the motive for the murder was. She was not sexually assaulted and her two diamond rings were untouched so robbery wasn't believed to be a motive. One theory was that someone may have targeted her because she worked for her brother-in-law who was a chiropractor. At the time there had been two bombings of Chiropractor offices in Patterson.
