Mystery Call in Amarillo Woman Shooting
Investigators probe a mysterious phone call shortly before Amarillo woman Mrs Goveane Ferguson was found shot to death at her home 2406 North West Second. A stranger reportedly used the Ferguson telephone and asked someone to tell Jenny to come home. Neighbors could not identify the caller. The motive remains unclear as Texas Ranger Frank Probst notes a 45 automatic would not cause a large entrance wound at long range. Fingerprint tests on a nearby shell are planned as the case unfolds.
