Long Blade Knife Found Near Scene
A long bladed kitchen knife was found near the body of Loudoun County landowner J Churchill Newcomb and is believed to be the weapon used in his slaying last Wednesday. Housekeeper Ruth Boley was critically stabbed, and signs of a struggle were found under her fingernails. The knife and scrapings were sent to the FBI lab for analysis as authorities pursue a white male suspect described as about 5 feet 7 inches, 180 pounds, wearing a black hat and jacket. The intruder likely entered through an unlocked rear door at the hunt country home south of Purcellville.
