Seek Husband As Woman's Body Is Found
Detroit on September 5 police hunted for the slayer after the arms and legs of a woman were found partly buried in an open field. Investigators linked the remains to Mrs Laurier Jobb, believed to have been forced into immigration to the United States from Canada in 1922. Jobb had been married to Edward McCann, who could not be located, as relatives described mystifying circumstances around her disappearance Friday night. Neighbors recalled quarrels and reports of her planning a trip to Ottawa or Chicago with $115. Police noted McCann was seen leaving their Stanley Avenue apartment at 10 am Tuesday amid ongoing inquiries.
