Eddie Boone, special agent for th'e Florida Department of Criminal Law Enforcement, said Bundy failed to show any expression either way when he was informed the girls body was found. Assistant State Attorney Robert Dekle of Lake City, critical of speculation connecting Bundy with the case, would only say examination of evidence led to a search of the area where the girls body was found Friday. He would not confirm it was dirt and leaves or that the evidence came from the van. Dental Charts Dekle said Saturday the body had been positively identified as that of the missing Lake City seventh grader through dental charts, but no cause of death had been determined. He said a preliminary examination by a medical examiner showed the body had been at the scene about two months. The Leach girl disappeared from school in Lake City Feb. 9, the same day Bundy was reported driving a white Florida State University van through the north Florida town. Capt. Steve Hooker of Florida State said the dirt and oak leaves found in the stolen van were analyzed as coming from an area near a Florida river. Rear Doors "You could see where leaves and debris were caught up under the rear doors of the van," Hooker said. And you could see that something heavy was dragged from the vehicle." The body was found a mile and a half east of the Suwanee River, near Suwanee River State Park. It had been lean-tdragged under an old that once served as a pig pen. Dekle said investigators had reand samples of mud moved the lean-tand leaves. He said it could take as long as six weeks to two months before all the evidence is analyzed and any case is made. Bundy is a possibility, but at this point, that's all he is, a possibility, he said At this point we can't say who is going to be arrested. We cant say if anybody is going to be arrested. He was referring to reports that a bloodstained jacket was found at the scene and technicians were testing the stains to see if they matched Bundy's o Tuesday: Union Building, Weber State College, Ogden, 9 am. to 2 p.m and Ballif Hall.

Pretty Good House Thomas Kearns, who was prominent in oil and gas development in Utah, directed the Kearns Corporation, majority shareholder in the Silver King Coalition Mines Co., The Salt Lake Tribune and numerous real estate holdings. It was considered a pretty good house when Mr. Kearns lived there, Mr. Buck said. As kids, we used to hang around there. It had a big gable, a porch that must have run the whole length of the building, and the roof sloped back toward the mine dumps. The house would have been torn a week later if she hadn t bought it.

Crash Kills Academy Will Be Good Neighbor GRANGER About 50 Granger residents heard that the Utah Department of Transportation wants to c be a good neighbor, when the Safety and Police Academy is built at 2700 W. 4700 South. Vernon Stevenson, DOT administrative director, told those present that the site was chosen by the State Building Board for economic reasons because it is economical to consolidate all the facilities into one site. He also said it was picked because of the large amount of land that could be bought in one parcel. The complex, to cost $21 million, will include an office building, a police academy, a warehouse, an equipment shop, a materials lab and county shops. Mr. Stevenson pointed out that the law had been passed to build the facility but promised that it would not be an eyesore. He said there would be no equipment stored at the facility and any equipment would be there only for repairs. He also said equipment would be screened from the view of residents living nearby. Some concern was shown concerning the traffic impact in the area. Many residents said 2700 West was a busy street and one man called it a speedway. Mr. Stevenson said traffic flow should not present serious problems since academy employees would be coming into the area as Granger residents are leaving for work in the city, and vice versa.
