Fireman Carves Initials On Woman’s Body
•Helen Miller, pretty 19-year-old brunette, told Los Angeles' police that Donald Graeff, aged 28, a railway fireman, had carved his initials on her hip while holding her captive in his hotel room for a week, saying that “when she gave him her body she belonged to him.” The police found jagged threeinch letters cut deeply/nto the woman’s flesh. They were holding Graeff on suspicion of kidnapping, and have questioned him concerning the unsolved “Black Dahlia” murder, which was committed 11 months ago. Graeff told the police: “When I get drunk I don’t know what I am doing.”
