Mother and Son Deaths Ruled Murder by Jealousy

Sabetha County coroner W R Popkess ruled the deaths of Verda May Wittenbach and her son John H Wittenbach Jr as murder and death by own action, respectively, following a lengthy probe. The son was found dead in a granary on the family farm, then the mother in the same spot days later. A handwriting test suggested the death by own action note attributed to the son had been authored by the mother after forensic bite evidence was found on the note. The son, a Korean War veteran, had dated a local girl several times since returning from Korea.
