Carter Roy: 1930年8月，纽约最高法院法官约瑟夫·福斯·克雷特神秘失踪，至今下落不明。本案涉及纽约市政治腐败和有组织犯罪，克雷特法官与臭名昭著的塔马尼协会关系密切，该协会是一个类似犯罪团伙的政治机器，买卖官职。克雷特法官的失踪可能与当时纽约州长富兰克林·D·罗斯福打击塔马尼协会腐败的行动有关。克雷特法官失踪前曾提取大量现金，并与一位百老汇歌舞女郎前往大西洋城。警方调查发现，克雷特法官失踪当晚曾与朋友和情妇共进晚餐，之后独自乘出租车离开，从此再无音讯。此后，警方和公众展开了广泛的调查，但始终未能找到克雷特法官的下落。关于克雷特法官失踪的原因，主要有三种说法：一是克雷特法官畏罪潜逃；二是克雷特法官遭到政治暗杀；三是克雷特法官意外死亡，其死因被掩盖。其中，暗杀理论认为，克雷特法官可能掌握了塔马尼协会及其成员的犯罪证据，为了灭口，塔马尼协会指使黑帮成员将其杀害。但这一说法缺乏直接证据。妓院老板波莉·阿德勒的证词声称克雷特法官死在她的妓院，但其说法不可靠。此外，斯特拉·费鲁奇·古德的信中声称克雷特法官被出租车司机谋杀并埋在科尼岛码头下，但这一说法也无法证实。总而言之，克雷特法官失踪案是一个悬而未决的谜团，至今仍困扰着人们。
