Florida murder case exposes glamor dream ties
Ruth Frances Dunn, 17, found dead near Miami Beach after a man known as Charles R. Jotfer abducted and killed her to silence pleas for help. Miami detective Lt. E W Melechen said the suspect, also using the name Thomas Cochran, had a complex plot to lure girls from Denver to Florida with promises of fame. The investigation ties in a Denver government official’s daughter and a web of false identities, with multiple arrests and police statements outlining the alleged conspiracy and motive.
