ABSTRACT

A 24-year-old housewife was kidnapped from her home and murdered. At the time of her death, she was four months pregnant. A search of her residence revealed that all of her panties and the bottom half of her bathing suit had been taken. Her badly decomposed body was discovered two days later and an autopsy revealed that she had died from paper towels being lodged in her throat. There were no other signs of physical trauma.
