Nol Pros In Second Defendant In Slaying Of Missionary

In Alexander City Alabama circuit court the state dropped charges against a second defendant in the murder of 70 year old Seventh Day Adventist missionary Lillian Euphemia Schleifer. Circuit Solicitor Dan Boyd said the investigation was not complete. The co defendant Cath erine Bystrom 39 was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 17 years. Defense argued the case was largely circumstantial and no death weapon or location was proven. Bystrom was arrested in Memphis last April with James Lee McGraw.
