Bluebeard Leads Officers to Desert Grave of Victim
In Dixieland California on May 4 a search party directed by Walter Andrew Watson uncovered the body of Nina Lea Delaney five miles north of Coyote Wells. Officials described the dramatic scene as Watson, in poor condition, guided deputies to a shallow grave where the canvas shroud was drawn back before a coffin arrived. An inquest was ordered, and Watson collapsed as the body was moved for transport. The tale aligns with Watson’s claimed route after the slaying, including a nude-wrapped body placed in a canvas and moved by automobile along the coast highway inland through San Diego County.
