Puzzling Coast Case Termed Murder by Own Action

Eureka California June 19 The puzzling coast case of a naked truck driver found on a lonely beach with his girlfriend's clothes nearby is termed murder with death by own action. Humboldt County Sheriff Raab says the theory fits the facts, as a missing girl is sought along Humboldt Bay. The victim Henry Red Baird 28 was shot in the head and clothes with Barbara Kelly 17 were found near the car as a note suggests she planned to spend the night with a friend in Eureka. A .22 pistol is missing and autopsy shows bullet fragments in Baird's brain. Authorities search the beach and water for the girl while denying robbery. The purse and wallet indicate no foul play against the survivor or by a third party.
