Hunt for Slayer of 10 Year Old California Girl
A massive manhunt spreads from California to the southwest for the kidnapper and killer of 10 year old Virginia Brooks of San Diego. The dismembered remains were found on Camp Kearny mesa after a sheep herder and dog located the body. Suspects include Harry Wahlstrom and two others described as a gold toothed man and a hermit. Authorities recovered clues including a bottle and a box that may hold surgeon gloves and acid. The case echoes the 1927 Hickman murder in Los Angeles, with no ransom notes. Thousands searched across states and Mexico but led to no arrest until the discovery.
