May 15, 1963 – Sheldon Morris, indicted as
an accessory in Carol Thompson’s murder, has been named as the police informant
that led to the discovery of the pistol and clothing believed to be involved in
the slaying.
Morris told police “the weapon had been tossed from an auto several hours after
the killing,” and that “clothing worn by the slayer of Mrs. Thompson had been
torn up and tossed from the car several miles west of the farm where the pistol
was found.”
Sherburne County Sheriff Chester Goenner “and his deputies are still searching
the area where the trousers were found. They were told additional clothing and
a pair of rubber boots had been disposed of by men linked to the slaying.”
