July 1, 1957
Los Angeles
Detective Sgts. W.R. "Bud" Schottmiller and J.B. Close of the Hollywood
Division have little to go on after a prowler broke into an apartment
to rape a young woman somewhere on Irving Boulevard (the newspapers,
incredibly, did not give the victim’s address this time–more about this later).
Maybe he was the same man who killed Marjorie Hipperson, or the one who killed Ruth Goldsmith–and
maybe not. Maybe he was even the same man who broke into an apartment
on Fountain and struggled with a woman before leaving.
All police know is that he came up the fire escape and broke in through
French doors about 3:30 a.m. There are some fingerprints on a 10-inch
steak knife that he left in the apartment, officials say, but only
enough to eliminate or implicate possible suspects.
