House Maid Suspected in Wealthy Mistress Killing
Polish born house maid Linda Mintz stands under suspicion in the bludgeoning death of her employer Thelma Macomber, 42, in Studio City. Police say a strong circumstantial case points to Mintz, who denies the charges and claims innocence while authorities examine the crime scene and a vacuum cleaner found with blood. The case also involves Max Tatch, a photographer who admitted visiting the Macomber home but says he was not present at the time of the murder. The assault occurred after Mintz’s prior statements about the alleged intruder, as investigators piece together timelines and potential motives.
