I've tracked down as many newspaper articles as I could about this case, but after a couple of papers ran an initial series of articles in the week after finding the body, I've only seen two follow-ups over the next couple of years where they basically just describe a specific lead that didn't pan out. Many of the articles describe the clothing differently, but it's clear that for the most part it's just a difference in specificity/terminology. Some contradictions are never sorted out, such as different descriptions of the empty pocketbook found at the scene. All of the articles mention old/healed wounds/scabs but don't clarify just how old they were thought to be. While it seems like long-term abuse is implied, the police representative in the 1963 article posted above described “prolonged physical abuse of several days duration prior to death" which makes it sound like it still occurred over a fairly short period. The reference to wounds that "are suggestive of perverted assault” is odd to me since police concluded that no sexual assault/molestation occurred. So what he meant by that, I'm not sure.
