Plans to Return Suspect in Boys' Murder
Los Angeles authorities map plans to bring Gordon Stewart Northcott back to California from Canada where he is under arrest for the Riverside area killings. Four Los Angeles scientists compared notes after confirming bone fragments and blood-soaked earth at the Northcott farm came from two boys, bolstering Sanford Clark’s testimony. A youth’s confession in De Kalb, Illinois, claimed he was not Walter Collins, altering beliefs about the kidnapped son of a San Quentin convict. Northcott and his mother likely await extradition to California as they deny links to the crimes.
