NYTimes: New York’s Coldest Case: A Murder 400 Years Old

De NYT doet verslag van de eerste moord in New York. Vanaf 9 september as is het overigens feest. Dan wordt herdacht dat 400 jaar geleden, de op hol geslagen Hudson, met een schip van de VOC als eerste Europeaan de VS aandoet. 

It was on Sept. 6, 1609 — 400 years ago Sunday — when this, the first known and recorded murder in what became metropolitan New York, was committed. Colman was killed only four days after the first Dutch and English sailors had arrived. New York's Coldest Case: A Murder 400 Years Old
