HAMPTON FAB1.S. N- H., Aus-
15, (AP) — Dust covered files (;i
missing persons- were scanned today
for a solution of a year old mystery
—the slaying of an unidentified wo-
man whose nude and dismembered

et-
A wedding ring. n. pair of slippers
and a dark green leather bag were
the clues the police had to work on-
The slippers bore the label of ;i
Boston store. The wedding ring wa >
inscribed "1„ D- to P. It." Tho.W
two clues formed the nucleus of an
investigation in Boston.
The' woman's body wns found yes-
terday hy a passer-by in n thicket eft
Coack Hill road. T)r- Wendell It.
Clare, acting medical examiner, - be-
lieved the body had been dismember-
ed while the victim wns still nlivc.
The victim wns about 30 years old,
had dark* hair worn in a boyish bob
and her upper tcetli were false. The
body bad lain in the roadside thicket
about a year, Dr. Clare thought.
The head had been severed and
lay several feet from the torso.
Arms nnd legs had been removed no,
if by a hacksaw." There was a
wound in the left thigh which author-
ities believed might have been caus-
ed by a gunshot.

ingham county offered the opinion
that, the body had been hurled pU'ce
by piece, from ap automobile.
