Police Find No Link Between Skeleton, Convicted Murderer By Dennis Powell Staff Writer Palm Beach Sheriff's deputies today said they have almost ruled out any connection between a skeleton found in the Boca Del Mar subdivision, last Wednesday and convicted murderer Gerard Schaefer. At the same time, deputies released a more complete description of the as-yet unidentified victim.

"The anthropologist and the pathologists tell us the skeleton was there between one and four years," said a Sheriff's Office spokesman. "Schaefer was in jail during that period." Schaefer, a former Wilton Manors policeman, was convicted in September 1973 of the murders of two Broward teen whose bodies were found on Hutchinson Island near Fort Pierce. Manuscripts he had written detailed a ritualistic rapemurder near the spot where the skeleton found last week. Searches at the time of his trial turned up nothing. Still, the uncovering of the skeleton last Wednesday by a bulldozer operator led to speculation the skeleton may have been the work of Schaefer.

"Two of her ribs were fused together near the spine." Cause of death, he said, was strangulation. That determination was made through the discovery of knotted clothing near the skeleton. Several other items of clothing, including undergarments and a nightgown, were found with the skeleton. Deputies report no leads in the case. Aerial photographs dating back to 1968, when the area was agricultural, have been checked in hope of pinpointing the date of the murder.

Sutton, San Buffalo, p.m. FUmade to Investigators are expected to analyze residue found in the bottom of a cup allegedly offered by a Miami faith healer to a Belle Glade woman who later was found dead in her car. An autopy on 42-year-old Ellen Fulton, found dead Saturday morning at U.S.

27 and State Road 84, failed to establish a cause of death, a spokesman for the Broward Medical Examiner's Office said yesterday. "She was supposed to have drunk something that a faith healer gave her just a few hours before her death," the spokesman said. "We want to see if that had anything to do with it." Broward Sheriff's Detective Lt. James Walkup said deputies found a paper cup in the back seat of the dead woman's car. It is believed that she drank from the cup, Walkup said.

Mrs. Fulton, who was terminally ill with cirrhosis of the liver, went to the faith healer Saturday with her daughter, who was not identified. An examination of the contents of the woman's stomach failed to yield any leads on what killed her, Walkup said. "Usually, they (faith healers) will give them something like tea to drink and then follow with a pep talk," Walkup said. "She had been in and out of the hospital during the past few months with her liver disorder," he said.

"I still think that we'll find the cause to have been natural, but we're checking and running toxicology tests." Test results are expected this week, investigators said. of REVERENT MEMORIAL SERVICES the Tradition of pRe faith Whatever your religious belief, you may be assured that every arrangement of our beautiful memorial tribute will be in accordance with that faith.
