Probe continues into bride’s death at Maxwell Field
Theories persist on whether Lynn Drew was killed at another location before her nude body was found in a ditch near the city after visiting her husband at Maxwell Field. Coroner M B Kirkpatrick called the theory tentative while officers note missing clothing and little blood. Investigators seek leads from cadet wives and a bus driver who recalled her riding a city bus the night of her disappearance. Gov Sparks may authorize a reward with local officials and private funds forming a reward pool.
