Pair Of Slippers Link
Sophomore To Girl's Death
UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio Wl-A
quiet youth who planned to become
minister Is In Wyandot County
Jail today accused of viciously
murdering bis teen-age college
sweetheart. v
The sheriff and prosecutor of
Wyandot County say 19-year-old
tmv Roorer Schlnagle Jr. of May
ileld Heights, confessed silling
, Cynthia Ffeil, M, White Plains,
K. Y. -
They say he sobbed a story last
night of brutality that spun a
bloodv web from Delaware, In
central Ohio, to a' desolate
patch of woods near here.
They .say' Schlnagle described
by neighbors In his Cleveland sub
urb as a "nice, quiet, youngster."
tore 17 gashes in Cynthia's face
with a lead pipe. They say that
he strangled her and bruised her
body.
schlMEle signed a confession
onvortn nine tvnewritten pages,
Bherlff Dean McWlister Bald. But
the sandy-haired Ohio Wesleyan
Tinitm-aitv soohomore insisted he
hod trouble remembering what
Vianrwnd.
The account given by McAllister
nri Prosecutor Harold Roth of
Hrhinaffle's confession is sketchy.
Newspapermen waited for hours
at the jail ana were am- mj pit
up only these pieces of the puzzle:
Schlnagle former high school
athlete, and Cynthia, met while
hnth were freshmen last year,
They fell In love and he planned
to marry Tier;
she left her New York home Aug.
94. Th next day she got a Job
In a Cleveland department store
laundry. She went to see Scninagie
at Delaware late last Wednesday.
Thursday night they met at a ae-
serted shack on, an Ohio Wesleyan
lootball field. .
An autopsy report showed the
girl was pregnant. Schlnagle is
quoted as saying they argued when
she told him another man had "an
noyed" her.
Rhe struck at him. Then, author
ities say, he lost bis head and
strangled her. . ,
From tho time officers said he
put Cynthia's body In the baok of
his car, the boy's story is vague.
He said he could not remember
what happened after that. Officers
say, however, be "faintly" remem
bers picking up a piece Of
pipe or rod somewhere along the
way and that he twice tried to
revive her,
When a highway maintenance
worker found the dark haired girl
In the lonely woods she . was wear
ing only a flannel nightgown and
a pair of red slippers.
The face of the once-pretty, dark
-haired girl was mutilated beyond
recognition. Even her brother was
unable to identify her positively
when he saw her body In a funeral
home.
It was the horrible distortion of
her features that made officers be
lieve they were at the end of
closed alley In trying to Identify
her.'
Only a pair of red slippers she
wore brought what officials believe
is a quick solution or. tne mystery,
Police had no Idea who she was.
They couldn't guess at & motive
for her death. Chances for finding
the killer slim.
Here's how they traced the soft
slippers from the north central
Ohio woods to a New York sub
urb: . .
From a trademark they learned
the slippers were made by Prima
Footwear Co.. Columbus, omo.
A serial number on them showed
that pair was one of some 23
shipped to Lazars Shoe Store in
White Plains.
Wyandot County officers asked
White Plains police If they knew of
a gin missing irom meir area.
They did Cynthia pf lei, the friend
ly teen-ager who was a friend to
many residents.
With a picture of Cynthia, local
officers tried to link her with the
slippers, A clerk at Lazars Shoe
Store recognized her picture and
said Cynthia had bought a' pair of
red; one-strap sllpuers similar to
the dead girl's, Aug. 22.
Police told Ohio authorities Cyn
thia had a boy friend at college.
From New York.. . the trail
switched back to Ohio to Colum
bus where Cynthia's brother, Rob
ert W. Pfell, is a chemist.
He said he knew the youth and
named Schlnagle. '
Schlnagle, a blue-eyed air ROTC
cadet who professes a desire to
enter the ministry, was in class
yesterday when he was called to the
dean's office.
There Capt. Calvin Swam and
patrolman Robert Hoffman cf the
Upper Sandusky Police Department
arrested him for the strangulation
murder of the girl he planned to
murder of the girl he planned to
marry.
