Investigation

The New York Police Department started the investigation by reviewing surveillance footage and phone records. According to Investigation Discovery’s A Time To Kill, a phone taped under Stark’s car led them to the suspects.

The van used in the kidnapping was found in Brownsville, Brooklyn, with Stark’s blood inside. The vehicle was linked to the Felix family. Investigators discovered that Erskine Felix, who had previously worked for Stark, was owed $20,000. Erskine’s call records connected him to three other men: his brother Kendall Felix and cousins Kendel Felix and Irvine Henry.
