Death probe is extended across cities in fraud deaths
San Francisco district attorney Edmund G Brown said a nationwide probe into a pattern of deaths and cremations of three elderly women is widening after the arrest of ex convict Alfred Leonard Cline. The case began with an estate dispute in Chicago and spans Dallas Portland Jacksonville and Tampa with potential links to Mrs Eva Krebs Mrs Isabel Van Natta Mrs Sally Carpenter and others as investigators seek who accompanied the deceased women and why cremations occurred. Brown asked Jacksonville authorities to investigate a woman listed as Elizabeth Hannah Klein and noted the possibility of further victims and aliases connected to Cline.
