In Lafayette Indiana on June 19 authorities identified the dead woman as Mrs. Jeanette Richter of St. Louis Missouri by Otto Richter Jr husband and Detroit burial for a relative. The death is treated as a suicide by local officials though the husband disputes the theory noting she acted “unmindful” and had nearly $1000 in savings while only $47 was found on her. Police cannot explain the discrepancy. Mrs Richter wore three diamond rings and a gold wedding ring.
