NURSE FOUND SLAIN IN MARIN -- 9 SHOTS
Victim of multiple of gun wounds, the body of
a blonde, blue-eyed nurse was found yesterday in a
wild, desolate part of Marin's Point Reyes National Seashore. She was identified through fingerprints as Barbara Jane Parkin, 34, of 2224C Grant St., Berkeley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Parkin of 218 Nebraska, St., Vallejo.
Sheriff Louis Montanos and Deputy Coroner Keith
Craig said pending further investigation, they
had no clues and no suspects, although one man she was known to have had a phone talk with last Wednesday has been questioned.
The body was found by Bruce H. Gaines. 25, of
1071 Clayton St., San Francisco, who had gone to
McClure's Beach to fish. He called the Sheriff's
office.
Deputies said the dead woman lay curled on her
side, her head tucked against the base of a fallen
tree. She was fully clothed in blue, denim cutoffs, a long-sleeved yellow sweat shirt, a short wool coat and blue tennis shoes.
There were wounds in her left ear, forehead, left
breast, left knee, right thigh, her back, nape of the neck, left buttock and left groin.
Craig said there were no immediate indications
that the murder involved a sex offense, but that could not be certain until a complete autopsy was completed later today.
Identification was established at the State
Bureau of Criminal Identification by deputies who
went to Sacremento during the night. Miss Parkin's
prints were on file there, as she had applied in 1954 to become a public nurse.
Once her identity and residence were known, the
sheriff contacted her brother, Richard B. Parkin Jr., of 2829 Delmore Rd., San Pablo. The brother said he had not seen Miss Parkin for about three months and did not know if she had been working recently as a nurse, or where. She held
a regular nurse's rating.
He described her as a "very intelligent woman"
who was graduated from Vallejo High School, had
attended UC of Berkeley, then obtained a bachelor of science degree from the UC School of Nursing in
San Francisco.
***Barbara grew up just over a mile from Arthur Leigh Allen and they were classmates in High School.***
