Violet Ray May Give Clue to Ten Torso Slayings
Cleveland July 7 Deputy Police Inspector Cowles said ultraviolet rays may yield the first real clue to the Kingsbury Run torso slayings. The tenth victim, beheaded and disemboweled, was found in the Cuyahoga river wrapped in burlap and newspaper. He hoped latent fingerprints could be detected on the newspaper via urine salts absorbed in the grain of the paper. One discernible print could link to criminal files and help solve the case.
