Girl Found In
Chicago Identified
CHICAGO, (P) - A special roving police task force hunted painstakingly for clues in the West Side neighborhood of a 15-year-old girl whose headless body was found floating in two oil cans in Lake Michigan last week.
The last lingering doubt about the identity of the bloated, dismembered body appeared removed after the family dentist identified his patient, Judith Mae Andersen, as the victim.
Dr. Mitchell Juliussen examined the body and corroborated findings of fingerprint experts and other police investigators.
With identification established, police began checking out other leads in the bizarre slaying.
Police files showed that an anonymous telephone call was received Aug. 16 that a girl was screaming in an automobile at the south edge of the Austin High School campus, about 2 1/2 miles south of the Andersen home on the far west side.
Six days later a cut-down oil drum was found in Montrose Harbor on Chicago's north side. It contained a torso, with the head, hands and a forearm missing.
These were found two days later in a second, smaller can, lifted from the water in the same area.
