In January 1962, John P. Schoeneweg will confess to killing Martin when she stepped out of the shower and surprised him after he broke into her boyfriend's apartment and was taking money from her purse. Schoeneweg also confessed to killing Emeline Ferber and Dors (no, not Doris) M. Wilson.

Schoeneweg was convicted of killing Ferber and Wilson, but found not guilty in Martin's death because his confession didn't match the facts. State death records show that a man named John P. Schoeneweg died in 1972 at the age of 39.

O'Malley was still making plans and staying hopeful. He told The Times' Jeane Hoffman the plan was to start digging by Sept. 15 and have the stadium finished by July.

"We would first have to level the stadium site and hills, then get ready to pour the concrete," he said. "The city in turn will close off several roads. It means we're jumping the gun, but we feel it's a good risk."
