Headless body turns out to be gaff
DURHAM, Pa. (UPI) — A search team crawled
200 yards down a slippery, bat-infested cave early
Monday looking for the headless body of a young
woman.
After four hours, the rescuers found the viftim
— painted on a wall of the cave.
“It was a lifesize painting of a woman with bare
breasts," said state police Detective William
Laboski. “From a distance in poor light, it looked
like a body.”
Added state police CpI. Mike Ryan, “She was
stone cold.”
j The search followed ^report from a group of
rock climbe*s from New Jersey who were exploring
the cave in a remote, hilly area of Bucks County
> Sunday afternoon.
• “They were cavediving, or whatever they call it,
iiua network of mines that date back to the Civil
War,” Laboski said. “They had* small flashlights
and observed what they thought was the nude
body of a girl between 13 and 15 years old. They
panicked and got out of there as fast as they
could.”
Police said the rock climbers, whose names
were not released, drove home to South Bound
Brook and White House Station, where they noti-
fied authorities.
Shortly after midnight, with the temperature
near freezing and a cutting wind, the climber led
Laboski and volunteer rescue workers up a rocky
hill to the mouth of the cave.
The rescue team, equipped with powerful
lights and climbing gear, descended on ropes into
the opening.
“It was completely dark down there, and there
were dropoffs so deep you couldn’t see the bottom
with your flashlight,” Laboski said. “One wrong
step and it would have been good-bye Nellie.”
“Plus the rocks were wet and slimy and there
were bats everywhere. Thousands of them,”
Laboski added.
It was 4:30 a.m. when the search team reached
the “body,” a black and white painting on the
cave wall.
Laboski said the young man who had reported
the body was embarrassed but relieved.
“He honestly believed it was a body,” Laboski
said. “He said he couldn’t have slept if he didn’t
check it out. I told him I wished he’d have
checked it out a little closer the first time.”
Laboski said no charges would be filed against
any of the rock climbers.
“It was an honest mistake,” he said.

ed. Unofficial returns had 56.4 per-
cent cast against Ballot Measure 9,
with projections putting the final
telly at closer to a 65-35 split.
| Measure 9, the first such initiative
in the United States, would have
amended the state constitution,
declaring homosexuality “abnormal"
ahd “perverse” and would have
banned laws giving them minority*
status.
The state government also would
have been forbidden from promoting
or encouraging homosexuality. Gays
and lesbians would not have been
allowed to hold teaching positions or
government jobs that brought them
in contact with children.
In Washington, D.C., voters over-
whelmingly rejected a congression-
ally mandated referendum that
would have required the city to rein-
state the death penalty. With most
