Officers At Loss To Find A Single Clue
In Columban Jan 2, County Prosecutor Turner after another talk with Tom Lavert says he has about given up the idea that any suspect knows about Tavert. Lavert allegedly furnished a clear alibi claiming he was at Marynville the night of the murder at Chaseland. Lavert denies knowledge of the crime and officers are nearly at a standstill in their investigation. Lavert will probably be liberated before daylight.
