2 A WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1993 HUTiOIIFROM PAGE IA THE TIMES Voters go to the polls in 29 states The Associated Press Republican George Allen handily won the Virginia governor's race Tuesday, ending 12 years of Democratic rule in Richmond. In two remarkably tight contests, Republicans also threatened the re-election bids of New Jersey Gov. Jim Florio and New York Mayor David Dinkins. In all, there were races or ballot questions in 29 states. In a warning to incumbents everywhere, term limits were endorsed by voters in Maine and New York City.

And evidence of anxiety about crime was evident in Texas, where voters approved a $1 billion bond issue to build more prisons. Highlights of Tuesday's elections: BOSTON: Acting Mayor Thomas Menino defeated state Rep. James Brett in a nonpartisan race. DETROIT: Former state Supreme Court Judge Dennis Archer defeated prosecutor Sharon McPhail in a nonpartisan runoff to replace retiring Mayor Coleman Young. HOUSTON: Bob Lanier was elected to a second two-year term.

He had token opposition in a four-way, nonpartisan race. MIAMI: Former Mayor Steve Clark and former city Commissioner Miriam Alonso will meet in a Nov. 9 runoff. PRISON: Texas voters were favoring a $1 billion bond, mostly for new prisons. TAXES: Texans voted to require a popular vote on inacting state income taxes.

The other Missouri charges are in connection with a robbery the same day of the gas station where the young woman was abducted.

In September 1992, a 16-year-old girl filed a complaint with DeSoto Parish sheriffs deputies that Wood had sex with her at a Shreveport photo lab where he worked. The complaint was filed several weeks after the alleged incident, authorities said, and there was no witness to corroborate the allegation of the girl, a frequent runaway. Caddo investigators attempted to question Wood in September and October, but he had left town. Shirley Coleman, a 33-year-old mother of four who worked at Western Electric, disappeared while doing last-minute Christmas shopping. Her husband Roy, with whom she had marital problems, reported her missing early the following day.

In his statement to Pocatello police, Wood, 45, said he drove Coleman's car to woods off Wool-worth Road and raped her. He said he then took Coleman into the woods, shot her in the back of the head and stole her diamond dinner ring. "I never figured they'd find her," Wood said in his statement. "In my mind, I shut it out It didn't happen and I just put a mental block on it." Coleman's remains were found five years later by hunters near Woolworth Road. Wood was not a suspect until his confession to Idaho authorities, Almond said.

Continued from Page 1A disappearances of two other women from a Shreveport shopping center in the late 1970s. "So far, the only one we can feel comfortable with is the Shirley Coleman case," Lt. Garry Bass said Tuesday. Those other cases involve two women last seen at Eastgate shopping center in southeast Shreveport in 1979. The body of Dodie Gay, 18, of Irving Bluff Road, was found in rural DeSoto Parish that summer She had disappeared two months earlier after going to pick up her engagement ring.

Her car was found on the shopping center parking lot Arrilla Vaul of Bossier City disappeared in March 1979. Her car, which had a punctured tire, was found at the foot of Jimmie Davis Bridge in Bossier Parish. She was last seen dropping her husband off for work at Eastgate and has not been found. No arrest has been made in either case. Shreveport police have said they believe the crimes were committed by a Shreveport man who is imprisoned for abducting and shooting a woman here during that same time period, but they lacked enough evidence to make an arrest.

Wood has a long history of criminal behavior Louisiana Department of Corrections records show he was imprisoned from 1980-86 for a simple rape charge in Lincoln Parish. He also has a 1979 conviction for armed robbery in East Baton Rouge Parish, and received a 10-year sentence for a 1969 conviction in Bossier Parish for aggravated battery, DOC records show. Police records show he was arrested in Missouri in 1966 and 1967 for armed robbery and rape. Here are the cases authorities said they have linked to Wood: The death of Jeralee Underwood, 11, of Pocatello, Idaho, who disappeared in June while collecting money on her newspaper route. Police said Wood, who had moved in with relatives in Pocatello, followed and abducted the girl after she collected newspaper subscription money.

They said Wood, whose relatives had become suspicious because of his strange behavior, admitted shooting her in the head. Her body was found the following day in a river. Wood will be sentenced Dec. 7. Prosecutor Mark Hiedeman said he will ask for the death penalty and will attempt to present evidence of Wood's "depravity." That evidence, if allowed by the sentencing judge, would include graphic photos of the girl's body and evidence of acts committed on the corpse.

A 15-year-old girl was abducted from outside a Pocatello pizza restaurant Nov. 28, 1992 and raped. A 14-year-old girl was kidnapped from her Pocatello home on June 9. She was the daughter of friends of Wood, police said. Missouri authorities have warrants charging Wood with the October 1992 abduction and attempted murder of an 18-year-old rn a St.

Louis suburb. She was taken to a wooded area, assaulted and shot in the head. i Nov. 29 "UW "JUL! 60s; 50s Partly Partly cloudy 1 Chance i3(kl of cloudy 1 Chance Lft of rain: 10 Highs: 60s and 50s. Low: 20s and 30s.
