Weckler refuses comment on daughter's fate in murder case
Fort Atkinson, Wis. George Weckler, father of eight year old Georgia Jean, declined to discuss the confession admitting the girl's death. He credited Carl Carlson’s sister-in-law for aiding the capture of Buford Sennett and Robert Winslow, linked to a murder and rape spree that night. Authorities say the confession ties Sennett to the girl’s death and to the earlier murder of Carlson as a leading clue. Tuberculosis can be cured with early discovery and proper treatment.
