No Marks OF Violence
The fact that the body was with
out clothing raised the question
among investigators as to whether
the girl might have been slain, her
body stripped Of clothing and
thrown into the river. Lieutenant
Manning stated that although no
person would be able to state, be.
cause of the condition of the body,
as to whether poison had been ad-
ministered or there had been foul
play, his long experience with sim.
liar cases convinced him that dur
ing the long submersion of tine
body in the water the clothing and
shoes would drop off.
No marks of violence were found
on the skull, he added. Two upper
teeth were missing, but the state
police theory was that they were
lost as the body went over a dam
above Springfield.
