The Half Moon Hotel
The Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, New York was where Abe Reles, informant for the FBI who brought down numerous members of Murder, Inc. "fell" to his death on November 12, 1941 a few hours before he was scheduled to testify against Albert Anastasia
The name "Half Moon" refers to the name of explorer Henry Hudson's ship, which anchored off Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn (the location of Coney Island), on its way to finding a short cut to Asia.
In the late 1940's The Half Moon Hotel became a maternity hospital called Harbor Hospital. In the 1970's it became a senior citizen's home.

Vecchione displaying key evidence from the mysterious death of Abe Reles -- including his knotted bedsheets -- that hadn't been handled since the 1940s!
