Bedford Mystery Murder Ties Passions to Slaying
Detectives link motive to Miss Mary Schaefer’s murder in Bedford on January 25. They identify a tall man seen near the Johnson house as the killer, saying he was obsessed with the Latin teacher and may have known the area. Police withhold the suspect’s name, noting it would be unusual for a stranger to know the loft of the shed. The theory: the assailant stalked Schaefer after she rejected his advances and confronted her near Fourteenth and L streets. Information from a Wallabe contact in Louisville is being pursued, with letters and possible connections to Sarah Schaefer’s circle and a friend linked to young women’s Christian work.
