Police Unable To Identify Slain Rainbow Bodies
In Marlinton West Virginia authorities hunt for the identities of two young women found dead in a Pocahontas County pasture near Droop Mountain. Only a comb fragment and a Swiss Army knife were recovered as personal effects. Prosecutor Steven Hunter notes similarities suggest sisters but lacks leads. He doubts fingerprints alone will identify them absent records. He suspects local residents may be involved due to anti Rainbow sentiment.
