Two Boys Found Dead in Icebox in Vacant Apartment
In St Louis Missouri two brothers, Richard Crum and Jerry Cook, were found dead from apparent suffocation in a refrigerator in a vacant south side apartment Saturday night. The parents reported them missing earlier. Two 10 year old friends discovered the bodies after helping search and cried out they were in the icebox. The second floor apartment was usually locked but was left unlocked after Mrs Crum opened it to show the unit to prospective tenants.
