to helptwoOMAHA, Neb. (AP)-The Douglas County sheriff’s office says the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be asked to try' to determine if two bodies found last week were those of Omaha-area Hells Angels motorcycle club members.Sergeant Fernando Lecuona, head of the sheriff’s office investigation unit, said he will provide the FBI with the names of Louis Lundholm, John Peterson and Roger Levell.He said he will ask the FBI to check the trio’s fingerprints on file against prints taken from the two bodies.The sheriff’s office acted after a source told The Omaha World Herald the bodies may be those of Lundholm and Peterson.The source said the physical descriptions of the bodies is similar to the two, one body wore a peace ring on a finger as Lundholm did, and the two men haven’t been seen lately.The source said both also had been feuding with other club members, and they wore boots. Both bodies were wearing boots when found west of the Elkhom River in southwestern Douglas County last week.Lecuona did not explain why Levell’s fingerprints also will be checked but he has been a fugitive for more than two years.Authorities have said they believe someone killed the men elsewhere and dumped them where they were found. One had been shot in the head and the other’s skull had been fractured by a blunt instrument.Authorities also have said they believe the murders occurred about Jan. 20 or Feb. 20 because an automatic watch on one body was stopped on the date “21.**Lecuona said he talked to Elk-hom police, who haven’t seenPeterson, an Elkhom resident, recently.
