Where's Joe in Clarksburg double murder case
AP report from Clarksburg notes Sheriff Rex Bumgardner doubts solving the other murder will come easily. Key witness Mrs Cora Christafalos claims an unnamed man known as Joe killed Mrs Joann Bland and wounded Mrs Frances Laughlin during the April 27 robbery. The Petrou case yielded no new leads and prosecutors see no further indictments at this time. Reward funds totaling up to 17,000 are under question as Christafalos may file a claim and scattered rewards from local entities are noted. The investigation continues though the Laughlin murder remains unsolved.
