Mystery murder of girl near Gary Indiana still unsolved
Identification of the murdered girl near Furnessville road Gary shifted as new testimony emerged. Sam Ross of Gary named Mrs Josephine Desidario as the dead woman, supported by her parents, but Gary constable William Smurdon said he questioned the body’s owner earlier. Gary attorney A J Haller and his stenographer insisted the body was not Desidario despite the public viewings and past associations. Officers redirected efforts to locate Desidario and other linked persons while deciding whether the identification was correct based on limited distinguishing features after the brutal crimes of stabbing, shooting, dismemberment, and arson.
