THE BATTALION
THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1981
0 police applicants said to fit FBI child killer profile
United Press International
ATLANTA — An FBI psychological profile indicates the
city’s black child killer is a middle-aged, “gentle” man with
feminine tendencies — or possibly a woman — who works
with children and has no sense of humor, it was reported
Wednesday.
| The profile was developed from tests given to known child
killers, accepted psychological theories and evidence from the
j kites where some of the murdered children were found, the
Atlanta Constitution said.
Nineteen black children have been found murdered and
two others are missing. The paper said the FBI believes only
j six of the murders were committed by the “gentle” killer.
Acting on an FBI theory the killer may be a rejected police
applicant with a grudge against the city, psychologists com
pared the profile with psychological test results of thousands
Evolution may lose dogma title
of Atlanta police applicants and found 50 mentally capable of
the killings, the Constitution said.
It said the 50 names — without any indication of opportun
ity or any sort of evidence — have been turned over to the
special police task force investigating the 19-month string of
murders.
Atlanta police, meanwhile, launched a search for a black
youth, who roughly fit the profile of the victims, reported
missing Tuesday night.
Authorities said Joseph Bell, 16, apparently was last seen
Monday morning, but was not reported missing until his sister
called police about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Bell — no relation to Yusuf Bell, one of the early victims —
was older than most of the slain children. But his size -— 5-
feet-5, 100 pounds — fits the profile and he had no history of
running away, police said. He lived in southwest Atlanta,
where many of the victims vanished.
The case had not been turned over to the special task force
handling the killings, and the search was being conducted by
officers of the missing persons department, who have found
about 200 other youths of the same age bracket reported
missing thus far in 1981.
The FBI profile postulates a person around 40, a woman or a
man with feminine tendencies — black or white — single or
involved in a loveless marriage, no children, with a high
school diploma and some advanced education.
The individual is a good employee who works with children
either by vocation or avocation, is extremely neat and metho
dical, has few if any close relationships, no sense of humor,
and is the product of a broken home who was abused as a child.
The profile indicates the killer may feel the children are
better off dead, although he or she still experiences remorse
after the murders and probably attended some of the funerals
and in some way expressed condolences to the families.
The FBI believes its profiled killer s first victim was Clifford
Jones, found strangled on Aug 21, 1980, followed by Charles
Stephens, found suffocated on Oct. 10, 1980. The next, the
Constitution reported, was Aaron Jackson, Jr., on Nov. 2. It
said the FBI believes all of this year’s victims — Lubie Geter,
Terry Pue and Patrick Baltazar—were victims of the “gentle”
killer.
The profile was based, however, only on the Jones and
Stephens cases. Both were killed by suffocation with unknown
objects, which medical authorities called “gentle.” Their
bodies were laid out in nearly identical fashion — arms over
head, feet spread and heads to one side.
These and other factors — chiefly the removal of some
article of clothing — linked all six cases, although not all
factors remained constant through each case.
jCalifornia trial is not a religious war
I United Press International
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The
judge in California’s evolution
trial suggests a quick compromise,
saying the revision of a few sent
ences in the state’s guidelines for
science teachers would satisfy Bi
ble fundamentalists.
The change would make Dar
win’s teachings on the origin of
man a theory, not dogma, and
lawyers on both sides indicated
willingness to consider the possi
ble solution to the case, which was
scheduled to resume today.
“We are taking a very long road
to get to a very small house,” Su
perior Court Judge Irving Perluss
said Monday. Perluss is trying the
fundamentalist challenge to the
state public school policy of
teaching Darwin’s theory of evolu
tion as the only scientific explana
tion of life.
The suit against the state Board
of Education was lodged by Kelly
Court says bias suits
must show wrong
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court, declaring the “ulti
mate burden” in a job bias case is
on the person filing the complaint,
ruled Wednesday employers need
not prove the person hired was
better qualified than the rejected
candidate.
In a decision that could make it
harder to prove sex discrimination
in hiring, the justices unanimous
ly declared that the defendant in
t cob i such cases must only show the
nbdlegitimate, non-discriminatory
I reasons for his action,
j The high court reversed a 5th
■JU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
hiding that employers must prove
loth the non-discriminatory
Reasons for their actions and that
he person hired was better qual
ified.
I “The views of the court of
peals can be read, we think, as
quiring the employer to hire the
minority or female applicant
whenever that person’s objective
qualifications were equal to those
of a white male applicant, ” said
Justice Lewis Powell, writing for
e court.
The Supreme Court flatly re
eled that interpretation, Powell
clared
He said Title VII of the 1964
Civil Rights Act, which prohibits
. employment discrimination based
on race, sex and national origin,
“does not demand that an em
ployer give preferential treatment
to minorities or women.
“It does not require the em
ployer to restructure his employ
ment practices to maximize the
number of minorities and women
hired,” Powell added.
The decision overturned a find
ing in favor of Joyce Ann Burdine,
who had brought a sex discrimina
tion suit against the Texas Depart
ment of Community Affairs.
Burdine, a field services coordi
nator with the agency’s Public
Service Careers Division, applied
for a supervisor’s job.
The project director’s position
was vacant for six months and
eventually was filled by a male ap
plicant.
She filed suit, charging sex dis
crimination. The department de
nied her allegations, saying the
man was hired on the basis of his
better qualifications.
A federal judge ruled in the de
partment’s favor. But the appeals
court reversed, finding the defen
dant in a sex discrimination case
must prove “by a preponderance
of evidence” there were legiti
mate, nondiscriminatory reasons
for the employment action.
The high court Wednesday re
jected that standard.
Segraves, director of the Christ
ian-oriented Creation Science Re
search Center of San Diego. It ac
cuses the state of infringing on the
religious freedom of Segraves’
three sons by exposing them to
evolution in San Diego public
schools.
The Segraves are conservative
Baptists.
“If they had said that’s what
they wanted two years ago we
would have gone for it,” said De
puty Attorney General Robert
Tyler, who is defending the state.
Richard Turner, lawyer for Seg
raves, said he would be satisfied
With a “mitigation” of two passages
in the state’s science guidelines.
“But in what way, I’m not going to
telegraph just now,” he added.
Judge Perluss’ effort to narrow
the issues in the case became ob
vious after Segraves testified he
was not trying to have “creation
ist” theories of the origin of life
taught in the public schools. En
dorsed by some fundamentalist
groups, “creationist” ideas leave
room for supernatural creation of
the world and life.
“If you say evolution is a theory
subject to change — that this is
simply a theory — then I would
have no problem,” Segraves testi
fied.
Perluss then barred Tyler from
questioning Segraves on his know
ledge of science or his views on the
“creationist” theory.
“Whether evolution is true or
creation is true is beyond the
scope of this trial,” Perluss said.
“We really don’t know if it’s true or
not. In regard to Segraves, all we
can do is ask him what his beliefs
are, and how he is offended.”
Earlier, Segraves’ son Kasey,
13, testified he was taught evolu
tion in the sixth and eighth grades
of San Diego public schools.
However, Tyler drew from the lad
an admission his faith in the crea
tion story told in the Bible book of
Genesis remained unshaken.
