Poor young Michael was the second victim of early serial killer J. Frank Hickey.
On December 10, 1902, Hickey encountered Michael R. Kruck, an eleven-year old newspaper vendor. When Kruck offered to sell him a newspaper, Hickey responded that he would purchase all of them if the boy would follow him into Central Park. When Kruck did so, Hickey strangled him and left his body with the newspaper bundle under his head.[5] The coroner later examined the body and found no evidence of sexual assault. The coroner's inquest ruled that Michael R. Kruck met his death by being strangled, "by some person or persons unknown to this jury." On December 12, 1902, Michael Kruck's body was released from the morgue and buried at Brooklyn's Washington Jewish Cemetery.
