Billie Grayson, 28, was found in Chanter cemetery near Chandler. She had been strangled and her neck broken, left in a lifelike sitting pose against a marker after being driven away with an unidentified man who offered rides to Helen Grandstaff and Billie. A farmer and coroner’s inquest described the grisly scene as the caretaker nearly mistaking her for alive. A separate case in Upper Marlboro, Md. reports five Army privates held for grand jury action after alleged assault of a 17 year old Virginia girl.
