Surprise move sends Susan Tolomeli to testify in Jose court
In a surprise ruling Judge Joseph Kelley ordered Susan Tolomeli to Santa Clara County to testify about events surrounding her kidnapping and the slaying of Timothy Luce. The Ukiah High School junior, who uses sign language, will be assisted by nurse Irmka Schoebel as interpreter. The case ties to a murder spree in mid August 1967 involving suspects Leonard Maine and Thomas Braun, both 19, of Ritzville Washington, and includes multiple related killings. Susan’s testimony follows earlier plans for Mendocino County Hospital as the venue. Sheriff Tolomeli and Susan’s mother, along with District Attorney Broaddus and two nurses, will remain nearby during testimony. The flight was kept secret to avoid media presence. Susan appeared cheerful on the way to San Jose. Prosecutors allege Braun and Maine abducted Susan after killing Luce in a Ukiah vineyard, and that she was assaulted and shot four times on a Tuolumne County road. one wound required removal of her larynx, leaving her unable to speak. District Attorney Broaddus indicated the possibility of resting his case after Susan’s testimony. Witnesses Fred and Louella Hardy, Sonora Community Hospital staff, testified earlier.
