But when Detective George Elwell, now retired, arrived at the home, he didn't think she could have gone over the railing.
In this crime scene photo, 48 Hours rendered the body as a graphic to show the position.
Is that a pretty good description?
Alwell says that when he looked down from the top of the railing, he was surprised that he couldn't see Violet's feet, which were under the staircase.
Elwell, an old-school investigator with a background in burglaries, also had an eye for more tactile evidence, like the dust that still covered much of the staircase railing.
Around midnight, the two detectives went to the scene together and they asked Daniel and Dina to come for a walkthrough.
There were no signs of a burglary.
And they soon became more convinced that Violet had not gone over the railing.
Violet was about five feet tall, and the railing was just over three feet, more than half her height.
The railing would come up too high.
damaged for her to accidentally fall over was just not reasonable raising more questions were the injuries on violet's face and neck there was some sort of mark under her chin here there's unnatural marks on her neck it also appeared violet had vomited and what does that say to you guys to me there was a couple of different possibilities did she choke was she strangled
During an initial interview with two other detectives, Daniel had also wondered if his mother had been strangled.
Yet there were no obvious signs like a rope or a belt near Violet's body.
And Violet's family members rejected the idea that she would take her life.
Daniel had described seeing her just two days earlier at a family dinner.
When Detective Schwartz learned that Violet was part of a close-knit Russian Jewish community where suicide is taboo, it occurred to him that her children might be covering it up.
Later that day, they talked about oddities they both had observed in Daniel's behavior.
For Elwell, it was during the walkthrough.
You didn't think it could just be a grieving son trying to figure out why his mother ended up on the floor?
For Schwartz, it was Daniel's demeanor when they met.
