On Tuesady night a local expert told the story of Mary Holland, an investigator dubbed 'the female Sherlock Holmes' who was called to look into an Erie murder in the early 1900s.
He said Holland was the best-known private investigator in America at the time, but even she couldn't solve the murder.

'She didn't solve it either. She said during the peak of her career that only one homicide in five was ever solved,' said Gary Wesman, a local researcher.
'Valencrimes Week' will continue with events at the Blasco Library until Thursday.
