72d St. Raschu summoned police. Detectives under Deputy Chief Inspector John Brandt, in charge of the Sixth Detective District, and detectives from the E. 126th St. station sought to locate the murder apartment on Patricia's sparse description.

She could only tell them it was some place on Madison near 127th St. As they made a building-by-building canvass of the neighborhood, they found Kail's body wrapped in sheets lying near the doorway of 1987 Madison. From other tenants, they narrowed the search to Gale's apartment. Inside they found several photos of him, and from his neighbors they learned that he hung around midtown photography shops. Walks Into Stakeout Showing Gale's photographs of himself to various store owners, they located several shops that he frequented and staked them out with detectives.

After a while, he loaded it, and repeated his proposal to Kail. When Patricia's boy friend again rejected the suggestion, Gales shot him through the head, the girl said. Patricia wasn't clear whether it was that shot, or whether there was another, but, her right eyebrow was grazed by a bullet. Held Prisoner, She Says Until about 2:30 A.M., she said. Gales held her prisoner.

He forced her to clean up the blood with a towel. He wrapped a towel around Kail's lifeless head, swathed the body in a sheet and carried it down a flight and a half to the vestibule, leaving it near the apartment building. Twice, the girl later charged, he tried to rape her, and twice tried to make her commit unnatural acts.
