Californias Largest Reward Offered for Murder Slayer
Private citizens aided the manhunt as radio stations spread a description and a reward that grew overnight, now believed to exceed 100000 dollars. Handwriting experts concluded two people authored the death letters, with a theory of three involved: a woman, a middle aged man, and the youth who moved the body. Airplanes from the California National Guard aided the search and a tip led to the arrest of Lewis Wyatt in Las Vegas, though his connection remains uncertain.
