Neither did Los Angeies officers

his name was Myron Allen Gordon,
and that he had sent suitcase
full of clothing from Los Angeles
to Phoenix. He later admitted that
his real same is Fairbanks, and re-
tracted the story of the suitcase,
saying all his clothing is still in
Los Angeles.
Further suspicion was cast on
Fairbanks when he admitted leav-
