Hickman Sleeps Soundly in Oregon Jail After Confession
William Edward Hickman, 19, admitted kidnapping Marian Parker and claimed an accomplice, Andrew Cramer, killed and dismembered the girl. He slept through the night in Pendleton jail after his arrest near Echo, Oregon, as police guarded him and a nation watched. He denied writing a Seattle police letter and said he only wrote to Marian Parker’s father. He described plans to attend college in Kansas City and noted his desire to raise funds legally or otherwise. The case ends a weeklong nationwide manhunt sparked by the ransom and murder of the Los Angeles girl.
