Since then, Yow, an ex-convict with a long police record and several confinements in mental institutions, has related many conflicting stories about his knowledge of the child's murder.

With rewards now tot'aling nearly $4,500 for information leading to conviction of Judith Ann's slayer, attention turned to the search for a "man in white" spotted by a Weather Bureau employe, and several other persons on South Bay Shore Drive a few blocks from the spot where the child's ravished body was found in a mangrove thicket.
