Mystery Woman Sought After Child Is Murder Victim
A missing boy is believed murdered after a drug store sighting on Fourth Street and Massachusetts Avenue. A mysterious woman seen with him earlier is sought for clues. Eyewitnesses placed a man with a mustache involved in a brutal beating at Tony's shoe shop where the boy was later found. The grisly scene in a crowded, modest apartment area led police to question several suspects, including a man named Rodger. Detective work continues as names, alibis, and potential links to the fire are examined.
