Clue Found in Triple Slaying Near Muncey Reserve
Police uncovered a woman's purse in a tree crotch as they investigate the Sunday slaying of three people near the Muncey Indian reserve in Ontario. Ground documents bearing the name Mrs Edna Violet McDougald suggest a possible link to a husband. The victims were shot with a .22 caliber gun in a gully along a blossom-lined lane used by bootleggers and swine traffickers. Investigators placed bodies on the road near the north bank of the river, with no motive yet uncovered and questions about whether the purse belonged to Mrs Riley remain. Inspector Leonard Neil notes the case remains under dispute.
