Elderly man's killing stumps police

In the 20 minutes it took Evelyn Palmer to step out to buy lunch, someone entered her Northeast Baltimore home and fatally stabbed her 78-year-old husband, Sterling. Peter Hermann writes:

Seven people over age 65 have been killed this year in Baltimore, including 84-year-old Jean Davis, who was killed by her son in a murder-suicide at Johns Hopkins Hospital; Milton Hill, the 70-year-old church caretaker who was killed for his scooter; and John Sandy, a 73-year-old cab driver who was fatally beaten in Hampden.
