Ex-convict Barr linked to slaying of insurance adjuster Kmiec
Los Angeles sheriff deputies pursuing Anthony Barr learned he had been in town only two days earlier. Frans Jones, a witness who worked with Barr, said Barr wore khaki trousers and a gray topcoat in a market parking lot near San Pedro Street and Manchester Boulevard. Barr may have switched from a black Lincoln sedan to a Ford station wagon with a Glide hood. Kmiec, 32, was killed November 21 during a demo ride. Barr, 52, formerly of Cleveland with a prior auto theft sentence, identified by detectives via composite drawings and car details observed by officers. The car was a 1949 Lincoln sedan or similar model, black with maroon siding and Ohio plates. Kmiec and Dolly Ann McCormick picked up a prospective buyer at a downtown hotel for a car demo, during which Kmiec was ordered to drive to a secluded road near South Whittier, where he was killed.
