The News Coverage

This is what we’ve learned from the WAKR (Akron’s now defunct station) news coverage:

1. There was a payphone at Dan St. and Glenwood Ave.

2. Rachael was last seen at the intersection.  The Reporter filmed the gas station across the street from the Three Corners Deli.

3. Rachael stated she was going to meet someone she knew in the area. Do you know who that was? Please contact us at rj546791@gmail.com

4. There were fibers found on Rachael’s body. Did these belong to her killer? Or were they part of her metallic fiber sweater.

5. Her body was found sometime around 8am. They believe she was kidnapped sometime between 2:30 and and 3am. It is believed she was had been in the street for over an hour. This means her murder occurred in the short time frame of approximately 3 hrs.

6. Police believe she was murdered in another location. Did you know someone who owned a garage, abandoned rental, or home in the area where they believed some suspicious activity would have taken place? There would have been a lot of blood and possibly a secondary fire to burn evidence.

7. Rachael was beaten so badly she may have passed from those injuries alone. The news broadcast stated her internal organs had been separated due to the injuries. This would indicate to us a large man, multiple men, or tools were involved.

**Very special thanks to Mark Bloom, and the University of Akron Archival Services for locating this coverage for us to view and record.**

Apologies for the quality. I filmed with my cellphone. Archival Services mentioned they can make better copies upon request.
