Fugitive in Murder Case Wounds Self As Arrest Nears
Indianapolis police chased 29 year old James N. Jordan of Tuscaloosa Ala as he wounded himself with a 410 gauge shotgun while officers closed in on an Indianapolis apartment. He was to be questioned about the killing of 24 year old Peter Allenopoulos whose body was found near Seymour with beating and stabbing injuries and a later throat slash. FBI identified Allenopoulos using armed services records after a period of anonymity. There was no known link between Jordan and Allenopoulos, and investigators suspect Jordan may have met the Chicago victim by hitchhiking.
