Cosmeticians Who Dropped Out of Sight in Klamath Crime Victims Is Firm Belief After Long Hunt KLAMATH FALLS, Jan. 33 (AP) L. L. Low, Klamath county sheriff. thla morning expected to forward in-; formation of Audrea Mardelle and ; Dorrla Sparka, missing since Novem ber 11, to the federal department of Justice of Portland. The sheriff said .he might have the report compiled this afternoon. KLAMATH FALLsTore., Jan. 23. AP) Death in some violent shape was believed by officials here today to have been the fate of two girls, Audrea Mardelle and Doris Sparks, who disappeared in Klamath Palls Nov. 12 while eh route from Spo kane to San Francisco. Sheriff Lloyd L. Low said "There Is no doubt In our minds that these two young women have been victims of a crime, undoubtedly in this vi cinity." Officers have traced them to Klam ath Falls, where they had dinner at a hotel the night of Nov. 12. They were to have met Miss Sparks' fi ance, Edward Mascone of San Fran cisco here, and to have visited Mias Mardelle's father, N. M. Streeter. They kept neither engagement. Highway checking stations at the California line have no record of an automobile bearing the license num ber of Miss Mardelle's car. Bangers on skils recently made a thorough search of Crater Lake National Park but found no trace of the girls or their car. It is possible, state police say. Vie young women may have decided to drive through the park toward Med ford, and that they had an accident. Deep snows in the park may have covered their car and bodies In event they crashed over a grade. Police say, too, a transient may have forced the girls onto a lonely road and kill ed them, .hiding their automobile. f Society and Clubs Edited by Eoa Nealon Hamilton Medford Gleemen to Be Heard in Opening Concert Tonight Meteorological Report January 23, 1034.
