Linda Stein, 62, was found dead by her daughter on October 30, 2007, face down in the living room floor of her luxurious Fifth Avenue apartment. According to NYPD detectives Kevin Walla and Pete Panuccio, the location of the woman’s death — one of the country’s most affluent and sought-after areas — immediately made it a headline-grabbing case.

Media outlets were already on the scene when investigators arrived at the 18-story building. And upstairs, there appeared to be no signs of a break-in.

Another CPI report is due out Tuesday and is expected to offer key insights on the state of the economy.

Meanwhile, GDP, or the value of all goods and services produced in the US, increased by 2.6% in the quarter that ended Sept. 30, after dropping at an annual rate of 1.6% in the first three months of the year and 0.6% in the second three, according to the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis.
