found dead in the family garage at 5:25 a.m. Sunday.
She committed suicide, hanging herself from a beam
in the garage, according to the police report. Chief of Police Clinton Bolte, Dr. W. H. Clarkson, coroner, and Dr. W. M. Redizel, summoned to the Musil home, verified the appearance of suicide.

That was the extent of available information. |
