The little rich woman who disappeared

Plain-looking, stout, with a bobo head, in 1927, Fang Dongda Holm was far from the beauty in the eyes of most men. However, because she was young, extremely friendly, and always kind and generous to other tenants, she was undoubtedly attractive to the opposite sex – especially to the charismatic gentleman who rented her upstairs.

When the 26-year-old Sidahome spent too much time with the handsome and noble Edward Lawrence Hall, 67, there was more gossip about them. Not just because of the huge age difference — he's 67, enough to be her grandfather — that makes their friendship seem so anachronistic. The most talked about thing was that Siddahome made little of a secret of her relationship with Hall, and many nights she boldly went into the room he had rented. Moreover, people are still concerned about the problem of money, Sidahome has money, Hall does not, people think that Hall and Sidahome are not happy, but also her money.

Sidahome inherited a 5-room building from her mother, along with a sum of cash. As we all know, Hall is currently working as a dishwasher in a restaurant to make ends meet.

After Sidahome and Hall returned from a week's trip to the Adirondack Mountains, people gossiped more. Then, in November 1927, the neighbors' suspicions were confirmed—the tenants were surprised to find that their landlady, 20 miles away in the city of Port Freeport, was living with the old man, Hall.

Siddahome commissioned a reliable friend to run her house and help collect the rent, and she came back every few weeks for a few hundred dollars and went back to Port Freeport to live with Hall.

A few months later, Sidahome's friend received a letter telling her to deposit the rent of Sidahome's house and all her savings into a joint account with Hall and West in Home. The letter appeared to have been forged, and Sidahome later did not respond to her friend's letters and telegrams. Coincidentally, government administrators couldn't find Sidahom either, and they wanted her to deal with some of the legacy of the property related to her mother, but no one found her.

In the spring of 1930, two years after Sidahome disappeared, police caught Hall stealing in Philadelphia. He insisted Sidahom was still alive, living in Florida, taking care of their 3 children born after marriage.

At that time, many newspapers reported on Sidahome. Some said she was the "plump heiress," others said she was constantly visiting politicians, drug dealers and fraudsters in the rental house she ran, and others said she fell in love with Edwin, a notorious murderer who was shot dead in Manhattan in 1930. Whether this is true or not, the truth is that — Sidahum hasn't found it yet — Hall is undoubtedly the suspect.

But prosecutors were also unable to charge Hall for murder because Sidahome's body was not found, and police dug 3 feet into the house they had rented in Port Freeport, but still could not find it.

In 1931, four years after Sidahome disappeared, Hall was imprisoned for forgery and only came out in 1944. He was in his 80s when he was released from prison.
