11, Police hope for lucky break a Hoosierland news summary If Her decomposed body was found May 3 in the trunk of a car parked in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. She had been strangled with a piece of rope still tied around her neck. Another well-publicized but unsolved murder is that of 23-year-old Indianapolis school teacher Lynda Daniel. Her mostly nude body was found half submerged in the bathtub of her apartment. Authorities were puzzled by the absence of any sign of forced entry, suggesting Miss Daniel knew and admitted her killer to the apartment.

But questioning of friends has led police to the proverbial dead-end-Police also have problems determining who is not a killer. Allen said innocent people, many with mental disorders, will confess to crimes they did not commit, perhaps in an effort to gain notoriety. "A man recently walked into a police station in North Carolina and said he had shot and killed a man four or five years ago in Indiana." Allen said. "He said the murder was 'somewhere within 50 miles of Allen said. "We researched our files but couldn't find a crime to fit his confession.

There just wasn't anything." Ann Harmeier, 20, vanished while driving to Indiana University from her Cambridge City home last Sept. 12. Her stalled car was found abandoned along Indiana 37 near Martinsville, prompting a massive search by police and residents of her hometown. Cambridge City residents even posted a reward fund for information about her whereabouts. Her body was found a month later in a Morgan County cornfield a few miles from her car.

Later, the reward money was offered to anyone with information about her killer, but so far the cash has gone unclaimed. Kristine Kozik, a 19-year-old Purdue University coed from Downer's Grove, 111., was last seen alive May 6, 1977, leaving a Lafayette tavern. Her body was found more than a month later along a county road south of Lafayette. Two persons seen leaving with her passed lie detector tests, eliminating the only two major suspects police had. Mary Beth "Pixie" Grismore, 26, a former beauty contest participant in Iowa, vanished Feb.

22 from her western Indiana home in Marshall. She had been divorced from one husband and had married another, and was preparing to move back to Iowa when she disappeared. INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) A bit of luck helped police solve the Hollandsburg murders, and state police are hoping to find a new streak of good fortune as they search for other killers. State police have an "open book" on a number of unsolved cases, including the much-publicized murder-rape of Indiana University coed Ann Harmeier, the strangulation of former beauty pageant contestant Mary Beth Grismore and the lovers' lane slaying of Purdue University coed Kristine K. Kozik.

"We haven't given up and we don't intend to," said Capt. Robert Allen of the state police. "But the fact is some murders are never solved." Allen said police are hoping for "that lucky break" they may need to solve these and other homicides. They fell into some luck in the Hollandsburg case, eventually arresting and gaining convictions of four men for the February 1977 shotgun slayings of four young brothers in a rural Parke County mobile home. The break came when one of the killers described the slayings to some acquaintances, who passed the information along to police.

Presumably, he related details only someone present during the slayings would have known. i Increase in deaths INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) "Gross numbers" show no increase in the Spencer County death rate this year, despite reports of a "frightening" increase in deaths near an aluminum recycling plant, Indiana's health commissioner says. Coroner Robert Patmore at Rockport reported what he considered a "frightening" increase in the death rate of residents living within 14 miles of the recycling plant. But Indiana Health Commissioner William Paynter Tuesday said "our first look doesn't suggest anything out of line. In fact, Paynter said, the over-all death rate is down from preceding years.

No action from board INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) A spokesman for a political action group called for the resignation or firing of Indianapolis School Superintendent Karl Kalp Tuesday night, but the school board took no action. The group Citizens Helping Out Indianapolis Children's Education, or CHOICE wants Kalp ousted even though he has a year remaining on his contract because it feels he has failed to provide leadership. Indications were that the group decided to postpone a vote on the matter until next month, when more if its members will be sworn in as part of the school board. Three out of four FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) The number of fugitives involved in a four-man escape from the Wells County Jail at Bluffton was down to one today, but police said that one might be considerably harder to find than the other three.

Fort Wayne Police, using a search warrant, Tuesday captured the third man, of Darwin Bostater, 19, Fort Wayne, under a bed in his wife's apartment. He offered no resistance, officersaid. Still at large was Bruce Culpher, 20, Fort Wayne. Two other Fort Wayne men, Roger Grear, 18, and James Morris, 28, were nabbed as they ran along Bluffton streets shortly after the break. Pepsi still on strike INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) The strike-bound Pepsi Cola Bottling Co.

plant on the Indianapolis near eastside was the scene of another disturbance Tuesday as job applicants were greeted by jeers, hoots and some rock throwing. Indianapolis police were sent to the plant to maintain order, but some of the men responding to full-page ads offering jobs ranging in wages from $4.40 to $10 an hour decided to leave without filling out an application. It was the second day of disturbances at the plant, where college students reporting for summer jobs Monday were met by shouted threats from the strikers. The picketers assumed the students were seeking jobs offered in the "help wanted" ads. Face eviction INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) More than 90 tenants of the Cardinal Apartments still face eviction at hearings today, although representatives of the tenants union met with the new manager for the first time Tuesday.

Frankie White, interim president for the union, said she and other representatives met with Allie Sparks for the first time to go over a letter the union had sent the out-of-state owners concerning grievances. She said Miss Sparks had promised cooperation in meeting most of the points raised, including insulation to improve the heating system. However, Ms. White said the owners had decided to go ahead with eviction proceedings against 94 tenants who had been pay PENNANT DRY EASY OFF OTN30V PLAYTEX IIAL'D DOffiJY FABRIC!

(UPI) The body of a man killed by a freight train was found today along Conrail tracks near here.

State police said the man was not identified immediately. He was described as white, in his early 20s, 5-foot-8 to (Meet tall and weighing 170 pounds. He was dressed in blue jeans. Train derailment MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. UPI Communters who normally use the South Shore Railroad had to find another means of transportation today because of a derailment.

Officials of the line, based here, said they could not estimate how long the railroad would be shut down because of Tuesday night's derailment of three engines near Gary. About 200 feet of track was torn up, preventing movement of any of the South Shore's 39 daily passenger trains between Chicago and South Bend. No one was injured in the derailment and no passenger cars were involved. Cause of the accident was not determined. ll riulTTriliijTTO pcw5pea5t box of ico lEnxifiEi iS-iST ll I $upu i i BUNCH CAKDY 63" ENVELOPES CASSETTE TAPE tSm 11 MmoST i Ounce Bag For Wo, Ho or School fl UMMOCBSMC I 1 AA A 1 AA -fl SflVllMI stt IJU 1 $A8VE UU' save ZT -rt n7 WW LONG JOHN SIRTR'S Wednesday SHRIMP SALE II BRICK I "GEE YOUR HAIR I VASELIKE I K0XZEMA AGJAKET AgS CSKI II SHAMPOO SKILLS TERRIFIC INTENSIVE CARE SKIN CREAM HAIR SPRAY (gS II 11 7 Ounce Normal SHAMPOO 10 Ounce Regular 6 Ounce Jar 13 12 (to.
