Also, a window was opened in the yeshiva, and a candle that mysteriously appeared in the room, which were all related to Jewish customs, which led investigators to believe that the killer was someone that Chaim knew. Another lead authorities had was from a jogger who claimed to have seen a yeshiva student on a boardwalk on the day of Chaim's death. The student was never identified, but police believe he may have been involved in the case. Chaim's murder has never been solved.
