Obituaries Records B2 The DaBy News, Longview, Wash, Thursday, SPtember21. 1989 Piano teacher's body found in compost heap SEATTLE AP a 7a.woa,. old piano teacher whose remains were found in a compost heap had been shot to death, police said Wednesday, adding that her husband was being sought for questioning. Don Church of the police, who disclosed the identity and cause of death, said Gladys Owens had been shot in the head and buried in her back yard. Her remains were found Tuesday by police acting on tips from neighbors who said she had not been seen alive since March.

Joe Owens, the dead woman's husband, told some neighbors his wife was in Wichita, caring for an ailing relative and others that she was living in Vancouver, British Columbia, Church said. Owens, 70, a retired business operator who was active in real estate transactions, traveled frequently to Canada, particularly Alberta, Church said. "A considerable amount of time has passed since we feel this homicide he said. "During that period of time he's had time to amass money, had time to make plans to travel in case he ever felt the authorities were on to him, so at this time we feel he could be anywhere." Owens was last seen Sept. 7, when he called relatives and told them his wife had died in March and he had buried her body near Mount Si, about 25 miles east of the city, police said.

Owens also told relatives he was going to the site to commit suicide and went to North Bend, where he gave his pickup truck to strangers and was seen walking into a wooded area, Church said. Later that day, however, Owens was seen in West Seattle, the last report of him being seen in the area, Church said. Priscilla Foster, who has lived across the street from the couple for 17 years, told The Seattle Times Owens had been selling household goods over the summer and recently took several truckloads to the garbage dump. Owens is believed to possess a large quantity of cash, Church said. grandchildren; and nine greatgrandchildren.

Atiyeh's $1 SEATTLE (AP) Doctors have found a better bone-marrow donor for a 6-year-old cancer patient whose case was publicized by San Francisco Giants pitcher Dave Dravecky, an official said. Susan Edmonds, spokeswoman for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center mere, said Wednesday a third cousin of Alex Vlahos is at the center and is tentatively scheduled to undergo the marrow transplant Friday.

Up to this point, Alex's 2-year-old brother, Gregory, had been the scheduled donor. "I asked one of Alex's doctors point blank if there was any chance that they would not use his cousin for the transplant and he said probably not," Edmonds said. The new donor, Linda Snowberge, 31, from New York, was located through another family relative, she said. Snowberge is a one-antigen mismatch from Alex; Greg was a two-antigen mismatch, meaning Snowberge's marrow more closely matches Alex's, Edmonds said.
