District Attorney Chick Chal- oupka explained the action by pointing out that a report from tiie Oregon State Crime Labora tory proved that the woman had jumped or fallen from the rignt door of the pickup of O'Connor and had fallen under the right rear wheel of the vehicle, sus taining fatal injuries. The murder charge had been filed when it appeared that she had been run over repeatedly by a vehicle. Chaloupka made the following statement: "On the morning of March 6, 1963, the death of Theresa Arzner was reported to the law enforce ment authorities of Lake County and an investigation immediately commenced. Evidence at the scene of the accident, the only evidence available at this time, indicated that there was a possi bility that the victim had been purposely run down by some in dividual by means of a motor vehicle. Subsequent investigation confirmed this tentative theory by a report from a local service sta tion indicating that the suspect's vehicle, a pickup truck, had de parted from Lakeview the morn ing of March 6 with obvious dam age to the front portion of the ve hicle. Shortly thereafter, a war rant was issued charging an un known person with the crime of murder, and a postmortem exam ination immediately ordered. "Before 1 p.m. of the same day, the suspect was arrested in Bend and the vehicle impounded. An investigation by the Oregon State Crime Laboratory was ordered, 7! . s t- . t "jt and examination of the vehicle at that time indicated possible dam age to the front end of the ve hicle, possible blood smears on the front of the hood, and scrap ing marks on the underside of the front of the vehicle. , "And this evidence, plus the secret departure of the defend ant conlirmed the original con clusion as to the possibility o! a deliberate striking o( the victim. "On March 23, a complete re port from the pathologist who performed tlie autopsy was received by this ottice. and on March 26 a complete report from the crime laboratory was received in this office. "Upon receipt of these reports, it became conclusive that the victim was not purposely run down by tlie front end of the vehicle, but that the victim had fallen from the right door of the pickup truck, while the vehicle was moving at approximately 20 to 30 miles per hour, and had been struck and run over by the right rear portions of the vehicle The damage to the front of the pickup was prior damage. The smears were not blood and the scraping marks were unrelated to the death of the victim. This confirmed the subsequent state ment of the defendant to the ef fect that the victim had opened the door of the vehicle and had lumped or fallen therefrom while the pickup was in motion. "At this time, it became clear that any degrees of murder or "Sentencing was set for Fri ll- rrim&C.W-U iHciih r.ranrl .l,v and entered althe district attorney charging the! carrying a maximum penalty of piea 0f guuty to information of I defendant with the felony.
