Slaying of Dana Weaver Stuns Virginia Town
Evidence in the brutal killing of 16 year old Dana Marie Weaver is being sought in Andke Virginia. A 16 year old high school boy, Lee Scott, is accused of choking Weaver to death at a parish house Sunday. Scotts statement, taken after lengthy questioning, appears to conflict with the case. Pastor Van Francis Garrett of Christ Episcopal Church, where Weaver was found, says the boy is described as good. Commonwealth’s attorney C. E. Cuddy says the case will not go to preliminary hearing in juvenile court until next week. The boy reportedly became hysterical during questioning but later calmed in his cell.
