A8 The Spokesman-Review and Spokane Chronicle Spokane, Feb. 22, 1986 Boys looks are similar, but not the same Hendrix' gold records replaced BURBANK, Calif Seven gold records honoring sales of albums by the late rock star Jimi Hendrix were replaced by Hendrixs record company after they were stolen from his fathers home in Seattle. Its a great party, A1 Hendrix said of the presentation Friday at Warner Bros. Records headquarters. The 30 guests included Mo Os-tin, Warner Bros.

Records chairman, who signed Hendrix to the label in 1967. Hendrix said his Seattle home was burglarized Nov. 4, and the thieves apparently noticed the gold records because they came back for them two weeks later. He said he was moved by the record companys offer to the replace them. Each of the seven gold records represents 500,000 albums sold.

After they were stolen Nov. 18, the family appealed to anyone who came across the records to notify authorities. Theyre not really gold, only records painted gold, Hendrix said in November. Its sentimental value more than anything. The flamboyant guitarist, considered one of the instruments pioneers, died of a drug overdose Sept.

18, 1970 in London. He was 28. The Seattle native is buried in the Washington town of Renton. The gold records were for the albums: Axis: Bold as Love, Smash Hits, The Cry of Love, Are You Experienced, Crash Landing, Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding at Monterey and the double Electric Ladyland. old classmate at Todd Hiddes middle school saw a photo of Etan Patz distributed by Childfind a national missing child organization.

The classmate called Marilyn Mann, president of the National Missing Childrens Locate Center in Gresham, and told her the boy she knew as Todd Hidde looked a lot like Patz. The classmate said Todd, like Etan, is right-handed, has a slight accent and stutter and wears a jacket with Buffalo, N.Y. on it, according to an affidavit authorizing a police search warrant. Toad does have a slight stutter, but so does his father, Ted. And the jacket does not say Buffalo, but Peru, N.Y.

Even Todd agrees there is a facial similarity. Shown a photo of Etan, Todd said, Hey, that does look like me when I was that age." Three forensic experts Mann contacted to compare a 1985 photo of Todd and a 1979 photo of Etan said the photos were of the same child. With those opinions, Ms. Mann and her chief investigator, Stephen Jenkevice, and J. Pat Horton, a Eugene, attorney, put their information before King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng and Ms.

Brenneman. Mrs. Hidde says police told her Todd could be a kidnapped child. I just relaxed because I knew Todd was my son, she recalled. Up to that point, it was scary.

Mrs. Hidae says she thinks police acted appropriately. If Todd nad been kidnapped, I would want them to do it, she said. SEATTLE (AP) Acting on a tip, police and the FBI recently fingerprinted a 12-year-old suburban Seattle boy who resembled Etan Patz, a little boy who was just 6 when he disappeared from New York City in 1979. Both the FBI and the King County prosecutors office now say Todd Hidde of the suburb of Woodinville, northeast of Seattle, is not the boy they were looking for.

The fingerprints of the boy here are not those of Etan Patz, says Deputy Prosecutor Marilyn Brenneman. Todds mother, Linda Hidde, remembers she had a sinking feeling when an FBI agent and a King County police officer confronted her at her office Jan. 24 and announced they wanted to discuss her son. I was upset at first because I didnt know what was going on, she said. I guess they thought I was the kidnapper.

While she was being questioned, her son was taken out of his class at school, fingerprinted, footprinted and questioned by police and the FBI. The Patz case, an internationally publicized missing child case, helped trigger the formation of a host of missing child organizations. Etan Patz disappeared from a Greenwich Village sidewalk as he walked a half block from his home to a school bus. At the time, the Hiddes were living in Amsterdam, a town near Albany in upstate New York. They moved to King County last year.

The case of mistaken identity began last December when a 13-year- State faculty earning less than peers SEATTLE (AP) Faculty at Washingtons public universities are dropping further behind their peers at competing schools in other states, a new study shows. University of Washington faculty members average 14.1 percent less pay than their counterparts at eight comparable peer schools, the study indicates. And Washington State University teachers make 12.8 percent less than their peers, with Eastern Washington University faculty 18.6 percent behind their peers. Prepared for the state Higher Education Coordinating Board, the report may fan fears recently voiced by business leaders and politicians that Washingtons six public universities and 27 community colleges are in trouble. In the report, the UW was compared to eight other campuses: the University of California at Berkeley and Los Angeles, and the Universities of Michigan, Oregon, North Carolina, Iowa, Illinois and Arizona.

Despite a special 6 percent UW pay hike, faculty pay at the university this year is 14.1 percent behind those peers. Last year, the UW was 12 percent behind. WSU salaries were compared with schools such as Oregon State and Michigan State universities. WSU is 12.8 percent behind that group this year, and was 8.2 percent behind last year. Washingtons three regional universities Western, Eastern and Central were compared with schools such as Portland State University.

Western Washingtons salaries were 6.5 percent behind, Easterns lagged 18.6 percent and Centrals lagged 10.7 percent. The Evergreen State College faculty members receive 13.4 percent than those at comparable schools. Gov. Booth Gardner has asked for a 3 percent pay raise for state employees this year. But the report says even if he gets it, Washingtons public colleges and universities continue to fall further and further behind comparison institutions.

Though politicians and businessmen warn top professors are being lured away by better-paying schools, there is disagreement over what should be done.

(AP) Lewis County sheriffs officers on Friday searched a pickup truck found near the body of Diana Robertson, a young woman slain after she disappeared with her boyfriend last December.

The truck, which belonged to Robertsons boyfriend, Michael L. Riemer bore the message, I Love You, Diana, scrawled on a large manila envelope under the windshield. Riemer is still missing. Lewis County Undersheriff Randy Hamilton said autopsy results showed Robertson was killed, probably shortly after her Dec. 12 disappearance.

He refused to release the cause of death pending developments in the homicide investigation. The truck and the remains of the 21-year-old woman were found Tuesday down a logging road off Washington 7 near this town close to the Lewis-Pierce county line. Depending on what authorities learned from Fridays truck search, an expanded hunt for Riemer could resume in the area today, Hamilton said. Mr. Riemers status is that he is missing, said Hamilton.

He could be an additional victim or he could be a suspect but authorities dont yet know which is the case. Puyallup Municipal Court records show a judge signed an order last fall directing Riemer not have have further contact with Robertson after he was arrested and cited for domestic assault and malicious damage last October after she filed a complaint against him. Robertson was last seen with Riemer, 36, on Dec. 12 when the two left Puyallup with their 2-year-old daughter, Crystal Louise, to set and check traps along the Nisqually River. The little girl was found unharmed later that day in a parking lot in Spanaway, in Pierce VOunty.
