Former mental patient charged with killing of Nora Kalhylene "Kathy" Jones, 12, who died on her way to a skating rink where the suspect worked. Edward Warner Adcox, 51, was charged with murder after investigators talked to an 8-year-old boy with whom Adcox allegedly committed sodomy. The boy sad that he bragged of having sex with young children. The child said he also talked of killing a girl near the roller rink.
BBM, I've never heard this was Kathy's name. But, I could be wrong as everyone just called her "Kathy".
This is an article backing up what I have always heard about the little boy who told his parents who then told the police.
From here, it's pay. But, there is an OCR version you can read.

Some other stories linked in this thread identify Adcox as the "bus driver" for the skating rink. Now, I do not know why a skating rink would need a bus driver, but I guess things were different in 1969. I have always heard him referred to as the bus driver for the skating rink, btw. But, not by name. I don't think my family felt he deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as Kathy.
ALSO, different stories linked here say he WAS a known child molester. Again, I have no idea why he was able to work around children. I assume his employers may not have been aware of that fact about him. But, the Metro Police surely did know. And they hit him up right away, along with cab drivers.
I take this to mean that the police figured a cab driver from her neighborhood or the skating rink bus driver might be people from whom Kathy would accept a ride. And that might be people that other folks who glimpsed something might not give a second look. I'm not saying that is what happened. But, I wonder if those thoughts went across the investigators' minds.
