Jury Called To Seek Indictment Of Twin Slayer
Whitaker, held on a $50,000 bond, was taken to the murder site near the Martins home to locate the weapon used in the killings. Officers traced several leads from Whitaker claiming where the gun was discarded, none of which were correct. A lake near the Martin property and a torn pant leg were noted as possible clues while Whitaker described backtracking and thinking over events, without reenactment.
