• Notes

  From: Rockland County Times, 27 May 1971 "Law authorities are seeking the murderer of Mrs. Florence Rabenold Kalbach, who was found Tuesday, strangled, stabbed and bruised in the rooming house she operated at 96 South Broadway in South Nyack. Mrs. Kalbach, 84, lived by herself. Her apartment had been ransacked. She was a sister of the late Senator Rabenold, who bought much Rockland Lake property from the Knickerbocker Ice Co. She managed the Quaspeck Casino, torn down since the Palisades Interstate Park acquired the property." The body of 84 year-old Boarding House owner Florence Kalbach was discovered by part time South Nyack Policeman Anton Fluhr and his wife Thelma. With the conditions in her home, police were sure she was slain during a robbery. Twelve days after the murder South Nyack Police arrested 18 year-old Kenneth Hansen from Valley Cottage for murder. Hansen had been a "roomer" at the Tower House located on the corner of Broadway and Cedar Hill Avenue. Hansen testified at his trial and admitted burglarizing the apartment but denied killing Mrs. Kalbach. With only circumstantial evidence Hansen was found innocent of the murder on November 18, 1972. Kalbach's murderer remains free. http://www.lohud.com/story/news/crime/2014/09/15/cold-case-south-nyack-murder/15682737/ https://www.geni.com/people/Florence-Rabenold/6000000004836738727
