ELSIE WALKER’S DEATH.
DETECTIVES BAFFLED. Auckland, Nov. 18. Exhaustive investigations made by a squad of detectives during the past four weeks, have so far failecl to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of Elsie Walker, aged 16, who disappeared from the home of her aunt, Mrs. Frank Bayly, of Papatnoa, Bay of Plenty, on the evening of October 1, and whose dead body was found in some scrub near Knox Home, Panmurg, five days later. Simultaneously with the disappearance of the girl Mrs. Baylv’s car vanished from the farm and it was found abandoned on the. morning of October 2 in Papamoa. Although various theories have been formed by detectives engaged on the case, officials have not changed their original opinion that the girl drove the car from Papamoa. Dectectives have been working in the Bay of Plenty, but in spite of the fact that they are leaving no stone unturned it is understood that little more light has been thrown on the matter.
