Who would murder a 72-year-old woman who spent half her life donating generously to the less fortunate? Our quest to learn about the unsolved murder of the beloved Isabel Oppenheimer - owner of a legendary brothel called Elizabeth's Dancing Club - led to the history of prostitution in Puerto Rico and the shady underworld in which Isabel made a fortune.
