Flanigan and Foradora Nab Casper Burglary Suspect
Casper faces long term custody after police officers Flanigan and Foradora tracked him from a Phillips store burglary 15 years ago to a Jamestown farmhouse. Loot recovered includes Remington pistol, a 38 caliber revolver, cash, jewelry, bracelets and fountain pens. Casper admitted the Sunday burglary only after officers displayed recovered goods.
Reward Offered for Information in McCloskey Case
Authorities announce a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects in a spree of robberies including the Mabt of duty dad and the McCloskey service station. Chief Flanigan credits H R McCloskey for key tips that helped solve the Phillips incident, with Casper’s capture tied to the broader series. Police continue fingerprint analysis and follow up on possible accomplices as investigations widen. Britain accepts in principle a U S proposal to unify occupation zones in Germany.
