Come Frem Onslow Crime Investigation
The deathof Mrs. W. K. 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 <m a.
her husband, a RicWands
merchant, had reported her as
being Kidnapped from , their
home late on the previous Fri
day night. Baysden reported at
the same time that some six or
seven thousand dollars in cash
and checks* had been stolen
from his home along with his
wife and car. >
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.
