trttN 70 IOrCe the man INTO the
car trunk. The man wrestled
with the assailant and the
couple escaped. The assailant's
car was the green Chrysler or
De Soto the police are now try
inR TO trace.
Twelve hours later, and only
seNen-tenths OF a mile from
where Mrs. jackson and Susan
Ann were buried, the driver Of
the same car accosted q parked
couple on q little-used road and
shot Mrs. Margaret Harold
fatally. He is known to be the
same man as in the Lake
Waterford case because a cord
found nearby In the mans
basement hide-out matched
the cord with which the Lake
Waterford victim was tied.
Police Of Maryland and the
District have checked thousands
Of cars in search Of these two.
DO you know Of any couple
accosted In a parked car or
abducted, or Of an attempted
abduction for perverted sex
purposes which was not re-
ported to police?
The Jacksons were abducted.
The indications from detailed
medical examination are that
Mrs. jackson was the last to
die. The fact that she and
Susan were driven nearly 100
miles from their home has in
Dictated to some investigators
that the woman and the child
were the particular targets OF
the killer.
Pervert's Aim Seen
Deputy Chief E. E. Scott of
the Washington police force
which has a five-man team as
signed to check out leads here
for other forces--believes the
only reason why Mrs. jackson
and the child we're taken to an
abandoned house in Mary
land was because the killer had y
q perverted sexual interest in :
the young mother. Z
Capt. Elmer F. Hagner Of
the Anne Arundel County force Q
takes the same view. He I
believes that the stocking knot .
ted around Mrs. Jackson's
throat-but not tight enough /.
to strange her--was twisted by :
the killer in an effort to force :
Mrs. Jackson to do something
she refused to do.
Capt. Charles M. Lindsey of s
the Virginia State Police con- t
siders the question of whether
other women were threatened '
so important that he issued a }
special appeal yesterday calling 9
attention to the unsolved
crimes involving abduction. i
"Some investigators" he said. !
''believe there may have been /
similar cases Of abduction in .
which the victims may have /
been released without physical |
harm and for reasons best {
known to themselves may not !
have reported the incident to {
police.
May Be Important
IF any person has been the \
victim of an abduction which !
has not been reported to or in II
vestigated by the police. it is 4
urgently requested that he or
she contact one Of the several
agencies conducting investiga-
ton of the jackson case.
IF such a case has occurred,
this information may be i'm
portant in assisting the identi-
fication and arrest Of the
jackson killer"
Capt. Lindsey gave assurance
that such a report would be
handled In strictest confidence.
Police are confident that the
gaps between the known cases
indicate that the man they seek
has struck at other times-and
viii strike again. They are
aware that there are several
reasons why a couple parked
in lovers lane--as couples in
some of the known cases have
been parked-would not want
to come forward. That's why
the police are willing to guar
antee anonymity. They are in
terested in information leading
to the jackson killer-not the
private lives of their inform
ants.
Was a sheet removed from
your clothes line or did it other
wise disappear just before Janu-
airy IL? Or did you find three
quarters Of torn sheet?
Mr.. Jackson's hands we're
tied with a strip of sheet after
being bound with his own red,
wing-patterned necktie.
Investigators believe it I'M
likely that a man would carry
a sheet around in his car
Therefore, the killer picked up
the sheet somewhere.
The part of the sheet tied
around Mr.. Jacksons hands had
certain markings on it.
Where, and when the killer
acquired o sheet with definite
markings on it could provide
police with a vital clue.
Was a shovel borrowed or
stolen from anyone you know
In the Anne Arundel County
area between Annapolis and
Route 301 on January ii or IL?
