West Virginia authorities said a possible link between the nude, unidentified red haired murder victim found near Berkeley Springs in May 1950 and a missing woman described in a Washington labor paper proved unfounded. Cpl. Burke said he spoke with relatives of the missing woman, daughter of Elmer Thompson, with a false teeth description and about 150 pounds.
