Sadistic Rapist Attacks Napa Woman
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A nationwide descrip- tion has been issued of a man without a navel who police believe raped, beal, stabbed and shot a Napa woman in a hotel here, offi- cials said.
"It's one of the more perverse and sadistic inci- dents we've had," Inspector Chris Sullivan said Wednes- day. "It was definitely set up. He already had a chain, handcuffs and tape in the. room when he brought her. there." . .. ...
Victim 'Mutilated'
The woman, 25, is hospi- talized in stable condition. Sullivan said she was muti- lated, "her buttocks beaten
raw" and a bullet creased her forehead.
He said she told police she accepted a shared cab ride with a man. She said when they arrived near his hotel he shoved a gun into her side and forced her to accompany him.
The woman was assault- ed for a 22-hour period on the 19th floor of the Holi- day Inn on Kearny St., Sul- livan said.
Left Nude, Bound The woman told police the man left Wednesday morning, saying he had to catch an airline flight. She later managed to reach the hallway, nude and still bound, where she was dis-
covered by a chambermaid, Sullivan said.
She later managed to reach the hallway, nude and still bound, where she was dis-
covered by a chambermaid, Sullivan said.
He said the assailant had registered under the name Henry H. Cooper of Reno. Nev. "He spoke with a west- ern twang, dressed in ex- pensive western clothes and. cowboy boots and was loaded with $100 bills.
"But the most unusual thing about him was that he didn't have a belly button," Sullivan added. "It's not im- possible, I understand, if he had surgery for a hernia as a youngster."

On 9/26/73, he and in Northern California in an area in the Pulmas Forest about 20 miles from Honey Lake, California. had noticed a piece of orange material protruding from beneath a bush. upon removing the material from beneath the bush they found it to be a portion of a parachute bound up with parts of a nylon cord line, so that it was about the size of a football. Other portions of the parachute as well as short pieces of nylon cord were also located under the bush.
Other portions of the parachute as well as short pieces of nylon cord were also located under the bush.
made available a portion of the parachute which they had found, which he described as about one fifth of the parachute. Examination of this portion of the parachute revealed it to have white and orange panels. He also made available several short pieces of white nylon cord appearing to be cut up sections of shroud.
A review of referenced Seattle report pages 229- 230 reveals the two parachutes missing from the victim air- craft upon its arrival inReno, Nevada, were described as white in color. Neither parachutes were described as having any orange panels.
