Missing jeweler found dead
NEW YORK (AP)—Police found the two diamond merchants who had been missing for several days but not the up to $1 million in jewels one was carrying. One was dead, the other alive and telling a bizarre tale of robbery, murder and kidnap.
The body of Pinchoz Jarasolwi, stuffed into a plastic bag and minus the jewels, was found Wednesday hidden in the midtown office of Shomo Tail, a business acquaintance who also had been missing. The body, 25, had been beaten and suffocated.
Tal, 31, a gem cutter, was found salein in the earlier in the day, after dropping from a roof.
Tail gave an account of two men invading the premises Sept. 20, and beating broker Jaroslawic, 25, to death with a board. He said he continued to do business in the 15th century until the beginning of the reign, temping diamond district, with Jaroslawic; body there, and that the two men reappeared five days later, kidnapped him,

"The real problem is the story is so stupid that it might be true," said a detective working on the case. "You can be sure we were cheating and you and check out every move he ever made."
Tal said he was forced by the slayers to wrap the body in plastic bags and hide it in a wooden air-conditioning box in his small workroom.
Although he appeared by day as a hard-working craftsman in Manhattan's midtown Diamond Center, police described Tal as a frequenter of night clubs, and one source said: "It appears he's a swinger and spends big bucks."
After the slayers departed, Tal's account continued, he conducted business as usual in the same room with the body for five days, not notifying police of the slaying because "he was scared for his life and the safety of his wife and children."
A medical examiner's report said Jarsolawicz was in savagely beaten on the head and a plastic bag tied over his head. He was released from the hospital, surprising lack of decompression for a body

On Sunday, Tal said that the two mystery men suddenly reappeared, stopping his car at a traffic light on Long Island. He said he was forced to drive the pair around for three days. Then, he said, he was drugged and released early Wednesday.
About $30,000 in diamonds were found in a pouch under the front seat of the car. Tail said they were his and we overlooked him. He was also armed with $180 in cash before releasing him.
