(Sun staff photo by Jim Kyle) 'Weirdo' linked to nine deaths MANLEY HOT SPRINGS, Alaska (AP) As authorities dragged river for bodies, townspeople spoke quiet-. ly of the "weirdo" drifter with a long knife who wandered in last week and is believed to have killed nine people before being gunned down by police.

"Nobody will feel better until they can get some bodies out of the said Cleo Schnorf, a resident of this backwater mining town of 80 people about 90 miles west of Fairbanks. "Nobody will get any rest until they do." Michael Silka, 25, drove to this community of log cabins on the Tanana River at the end of the Elliott Highway about a week ago and set up camp at a boat launching area about three miles from town. On Thursday, six residents of the village went to the boat ramp for one reason or another. None was ever seen again. Silka, shot to death Saturday by state police after he killed a trooper in a helicopter pursuing him, also has been linked to the.

of a trapper in this rugged central Alaska wilderness, and was a suspect in a slaying last month in Fairbanks, officials said. think this will be remembered every breakup (when the river ice breaks) for a long time," said Ed Crestin, 28. "Things may not be the same any time soon. I think the people here may be a little more leery of strangers." A pregnant woman and a 2- year-old child are among those who vanished and are presumed dead. Residents said Sunday recalled they are certain they were killed and thrown into the river.

Authorities presume the missing people were killed, Sam Barin with the Alaska State Troopers nard, a homicide investigator Fairbanks, said Sunday night. Dragging for bodies was to resume Monday. "It's a dangerous river, a horrible, horrible place," Barnard said. "This river doesn't give up its bodies very often." Residents said the bearded Silka arrived about a week ago in a brown sedan with a canoe lashed toi its roof, and camped by the river. "He was scraggly and he acted really weird.

This is the end of the road. All the weirdos end up here," said Patricia Lee, who with her husband Bob operates the Manley Roadhouse. Another resident, Teresa Conger, said that in her only meeting with Silka he could not stop fussing with a knife. "He had a huge knife that he just kept sharpening and sharpening," she said. "He was just obsessed with that knife." By Friday, townspeople had noticed that six people were missing and called state police for help.

Troopers arrived at 2 a.m. Saturday. They found marks at the blood-splattered boat landing indicating that objects had been dragged down to the edge of the muddy river, still clogged with ice from the spring breakup. Silka, already being sought for questioning in the April 28 slaying of Robert Culp of Fairbanks, was soon identified as the suspect, said Lt. John Myers.
