mother goodbye and left the house TO
do some shopping. She did not return
It was then discovered that she had
taken away with her all the money
and jewe1ry given her by her parents
and her husband. A few days later
her mother received a post card from
Theresa saying she was in good health
and that there was no cause to
worry. Meanwhile John Alcamo, her
former sweetheart. was questioned by
the police but denied knowing any
thing of the whereabouts of the mis-
sing bride.
Some doubt was cast by detectives
on the brides intent to take up con-
vent life. They say they have reason
to believe that she has gone to Cali
fornia, where she once lived, to enter
motion pictures. She is described as
pretty, Her husband is a medical
