Beautiful, 16-year old Dana Weaver had been missing almost 18 hours when a negro janitor found her pitifully battered body slumped against the door in the parish house kitchen. Police followed up a lead that Dana and two of her girl friends were with three Virginia Tech students Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, hut said the trail led-to a blank wall. 'Haven't a Lead in the World" "We haven't a lead In the ivorld right now," said Detective Captain Frank Webb. "The boys it V.P.I, have no connection with this that we can find." He said Commonwealth's Attorney C. E. Cuddy advised a?ainst releasing the names of the students, but said at least two 3f them were members of the Virginia Tech cadet corps. Two of Dana's friends told police they last saw her alive when they got out of the Tech stulents' car and watched her drive jff. She said she told them she was going to Christ Episcopal Church for a Young People's League meeting. Detectives left immediately for Blacksburg to question the college students, but returned later with no further clues to the mystery slaying of the popular young ;irl. The janitor, Alex Roland, told detectives he entered the red jrick Christ Church parish house ibout 8 a. m. yesterday to begin tiis regular chores. He found broken glass scattered through the dining room, he said, and followed the trail of litter to the kitchen. Behind the Dutch-style, two part kitchen door, Roland found pretty Dana slumped In death. | He ran for the church pastor, Rev. Van Francis Garrett, who lalled police. Coroner Charles M. Irvin said Dana apparently had put up a terrific straggle against her murderer. Fingernails were ripped from her slender hands, and he) lithe body and throat was splotched with dark bruises. Dana apparently was not raped, Trvin said. Senior Play Friday At Mt. Pleasant There's going to be riots of laughts at Mt.
