Pilot Shot in Washington Hotel Suite Over Adoption Dispute
CAPT. GEORGE DAVID LEIST, 25, a Pennsylvania Airlines pilot, was shot and killed in an expensive Washington hotel suite by Wilbur Stammler, 38, a New York lawyer, who then fled. Leist's wife Ruth, present in the suite, was questioned but not detained. Police found papers showing Stammler had sought adoption papers for Leist to “further Leist's musical education,” and believe the shooting stemmed from disagreement over adoption terms.
