Miss Shields Buried;
No Clues In Mystery
ATLANTA (UPI) — Diane
Marie Shields was buried in
Birmingham, Ala., Monday un
der mournful skies while police
in Atlanta spent the rainy day
attempting to find her mur
derer’s fingerprints among
those on her car.
Some 75 persons — including
the man she was to marry next
month — gathered under a
canvas canopy as Miss Shield’s
flower-laden casket was lowered
into its grave. The 22-year-old
pretty brunette’s body had been
found Saturday stuffed in the
trunk of her car in East Point,
Oa.
In services earlier Monday in
Miss Shields’ hometown of Gun
tersville, Ala., the Rev. Acle
Etherton asked family mem
bers to “trust God’s Infinite
wisdom” during their bereave
ment.
East Point Detective Capt.
Melvin Banks said officers had
turned up nothing concrete In
questioning scores of persons.
"It’s hard to understand why
we can be so sorrowful when
she’s at peace,’’ Rev. Etherton
said. “We couldn’t understand
these things, but we’ll have to
trust God’s infinite wisdom.”
Atlanta identification experts
said the fingerprints of Miss
Shields and police officers who
couid have touched her car
would have to be identified be
fore any real progress could be
made.
Rev. Etherton, noted in his
eulogy that Miss Shields was to
have talked to him Saturday—
the day her body was found—
about her forthcoming mar
riage.

Banks said a nationwide alert
had been issued for a 1963 blue
and white Chevrolet convertible
stolen within a block of where
police officers, on a routine pa
trol, found the girl’s body.
The detective said the car
thief was a “prime suspect” in
the case which may be connect
ed with the mysterious disap
pearance of Mrs. Mary Little
in October, 1965.
Authorities theorized the per
son who strangled Miss Shields
left her car in the parking lot
and stole the convertible for the
getaway.
Banks said there were few
clues In the case and no mo
tive had been established.
Atlanta Detective Lt. W. K.
Perry, who headed the probe
into the disappearance of Mrs.
Little, was working closely with
East Point detectives.
Miss Shields took a job va
cancy at an Atlanta bank creat
ed by the disappearance of
Mrs. Little. Miee Shields also
roomed with a former room
mate of Mrs. Little.
Mrs. Little’s car was found
the day after her disappearance
in an Atlanta shopping center
parking lot, bloody undergar
ments stuffed between the front
seats.
Miss Shields was last seen
leaving work Friday and was
reported missing by her fiance,
Howard T. Antle, early the fol
lowing morning.
Miss Shield’s car was found
about a half-mile from the route

Florida
Drought
Broken
MIAMI (UPl)—Heavy rains
of up to more than five inches
washed drought-stricken Florida
Monday and a rash of torna
does struck the northern part
of the state and neighboring
south Georgia.
Two persons were reported
slightly Injured when one of the
twisters touched down at Palat
ka, near Jacksonville, and top
pled a house trailer.
Another tornado wrecked a
tobacco barn near Eridu in
Taylor County and authorities
reported tornadoes blew the
roofs from a half-dozen build
ings in the market areas of
Valdosta and Tifton, Ga., send
ing fruits and vegetables flying
through the air.
But farm sources indicated
the rains produced in the
weather pattern did more good
than the harm from the twis
ters.
“I don’t know when you of
ficially say a drought has end
ed, but we’re going to get e
nough rain to put a pretty goofl
dent in this one at least,”
said Miami weather forecaster
Charles Wise.
A station at Arcadia, in cat
tle country, reported 5.11 inch
es of rain Monday afternoon.
In south Florida, the effects
of a south-bound cold front
churned up the welcome show
ers. By nightfall it had rained
heavily in the Florida keys and
thick black clouds stretched
over the Everglades.
