Her body was found in a shallow stream of 8 inches in a culvert. There were men's footprints in the mud and the police made plaster casts. There were a pair of men's army trousers hundred feet from her body. Her watch on her wrist stopped at 6:10. Her purse was found 50 feet from her body and it had $6.00 and her I.D. Card.

The night before her death she had a nightmare and went to her pastor Dr. Frederick Brown Harris of Foundry Methodist Church. She said she had a bad dream about her fiancé Theodore Buck.

The police questioned Theodore and others and cleared them all. There was a mention of a middle aged man she was in love with, but she did not mention his name to the pastor. He was a New York export company executive.

They called it suicide in the end. I will never believe it and I know her mother did not either among others who were close to her.

There were three another murders but a women named Mary Baker was murdered very close by and found in a culvert (I will do a post on her next), April 1930.
