Museum exhibit explores the life and murder mystery of Sing Lee

The murder of Sing Lee was never solved. The Petersburg merchant was found dead in his apartment in November 1930, and despite a community that demanded answers, the investigation went nowhere. Clausen Memorial Museum has spent months digging through the evidence and, on March 2, opens an exhibit on his life and death.

The museum's exhibit, "The Sing Lee Mystery," will run throughout the month of March.

Clausen Museum Director Sarah Pederson says the exhibit doesn't solve the case, but works to make sure Lee's remarkable life, and the questions surrounding his death, are not lost to history.
