In the suitcase were found towels
stained with blood, newspapers bear

currency-$1,5 500. at once. Keep
them on your person. Go about your
daily business as usual. Leave out
police and detectives. Make no pub
lie notice. Keep this affair pri-
yate. Make no search.
Fulfilling these terms with the
transfer of the currency will secure
the return of the girl.
Failure to Comply"

quests means no one will ever see
the girl again-except the angels in
heaven.

another within three days-72
hours. You will receive further
notice
But the terms remain the same. !"
(Signed) Fate"

messages. delivered through the
mail at the Parker home last night:
When asksd you over the

"Mr. Parker, I am ashamed al

Calls Parker Insane
Your daughter saw you. watched
you work and then drove away
broken hearted because you couldn' I

You remain reckless, and with death
fast on its way.
