All efforts to have the man identified have failed.

Clabaugh:told investigators that he heard his shepherd dog barking during the night, but gave the incident little thought because the animal frequently chased rats around the farm lot. e i =
The severed telephone lines were discovered after Clapaugh failed in an attempt to use his telephone to notify a neighbor of the finding of the Body in the creek. The wire was twisted in two between the telephone pole and the house. Alight was burning in the Clabaugh home at the time, and it is believed that the victim of the murders may have been screaming os the slayers passed the Clabaugh house in an automobile. The Clabaugh home is on the route to the spot.where the body was found from Etna Green. .
