Solomon Lever

Solomon Lever died after being kidnapped in a bogus police car and left in Epping Forest on 19 July 1959.

They had  called him at about 1.05am on 19 July 1959 to say that there was a fire next door to his office. His wife said, 'He told me the police were coming to collect him and at 1.20am the front door bell rang. There was one man there. At 2.20am I rang the office to find out how things were going, but there was no reply. I went to the office but found that there was no fire'. She said that she then returned home and called the police and went back to the office with them and discovered that the safe had been burgled.
