In 1992, a skull fragment found in a wooded area of Baldwin, Pennsylvania, United States, was determined to be that of Michael Rosenblum, who was last seen alive on February 14, 1980, driving away from a nearby gas station. While the discovery put to rest the question of his fate, how he died could not be determined. This left unsettled allegations his father had made in the years since his son's disappearance that the local police had not only caused his death but had actively covered up their role in it.[1]
One allegation, that the police department's clerk had forged another officer's signature on a backdated letter, was proven when the clerk confessed during an official inquiry. No other employee was ever disciplined; after the borough council fired the chief over his purported role in the alleged misconduct, he was later reinstated by the borough's civil service commission, a majority of whom were close friends of the chief.[2] An investigation by the state's Attorney General's office that seemed promising later stalled.
Michael's father, Maurice Rosenblum, spent a lot of his own money and made use of his political connections to keep the case alive; he also received some anonymous tips pointing to police misconduct, one of which led to the Baldwin council's inquiry. An extensive investigation by Pittsburgh Magazine led to a 1988 article over which two Baldwin officers sued for libel, claiming it unfairly suggested that they were responsible for Rosenblum's death and disappearance; they settled before trial. Unsolved Mysteries also ran a segment about the case[3] despite the Baldwin police's refusal to cooperate with them.
