Bays den of RIchlands early this sum mer still remains on the un solved murder list .as this is written (Wednesday morning) but indications this" week point to the possibility that the law may be drawing its net very close to those who committed this Coldblooded and brutal murder. Mrs: Baysden’s badly decom posed body was found in her early A delayed autopsy report from Duke University pathologists in dicated, in part, that Mrs. Bays deii died of suffocation but it also said that there were wounds about her head. Although this 30-page autopsy report has been in the hands of officers for well over a month now the full te*t has not been released and most importantly the exact tinie of Mrs. Baysden’s death was not released. Her husband said she was taken from their home somewhere around midnight. The time factor is believed to have an extremely important bearing on the case since it is agreed by even the unexpert that she was dead a consider able time before her body was found in the Carolina Beach parking area. The latest released informa tion on the case as it was being followed by State Bureau of In vestigation and Onslow County stated that detailed reports were being made into the disposition of the checks Baysden reported as missing at the time of his wife’s alleged kidnapping. This week the case lopped over into Jones County where a prom inent citizen who had been at tempting to help officers with the investigation received a threatening phone call which told him very quickly and very bluntly to keep his nose out of the case. The . latest rumors attached to the case point to the conclusion I that the law has enough infor 1 mation at this time to arrest one of the major participants in the crime but is stalling off his. arrest and hoping for a break that will securely tie up those who helped in this murder. . When the arrests are made it 1 is certain that they will stick.
