WEST HARTFORD, Conn.
- Police nationwide searched
Wednesday for a Wells Fargo
iecurity guard suspected of
Irugging two co-workers and
itealing more than $7 million in
the second biggest cash robbery
in American history.
Police and FBI agents found
a rented car apparently aban
doned by the alleged robber,
Victor Gerena, 25, of Hartford.
Police said the robber pulled a
gun on two of his fellow work-
, bound and drugged them,
then stole the money.
The 1974 green Buick Elec-
tra was spotted about 5 p.m.
EOT Tuesday at a motel across
the street from a small airport in
Hartford.
A shotgun and a pistol were
found in the vehicle, but no
money was recovered. Genera
was believed to be armed with a
shotgun and two revolvers
when he left the Wells Fargo
[Armored Service office.
Hartford State’s Attorney
ijohn Bailey said a warrant had
been issued for Genera’s arrest
and said law enforcement agen
cies nationwide had been
alerted.
He said police across the
country were keeping an eye on
airports and bus terminals.
West Hartford Police Chief
Francis Reynolds cited the pos
sibility more than one person
was involved, but declined to
discuss any evidence police had
for such suspicions.
Police said they didn’t know if
Gerena had any criminal re
cord. He has worked for Wells
Fargo since May 1982.
Wells Fargo issued a reward
of $250,000 for recovery of the
money, which was insured, and
$100,000 for an arrest and con
viction in the case.
A police spokesman said the
firm was able to determine that
at least $7 million was taken,
but an inventory was still going
on and “a sizeable amount was
left behind."
Wells Fargo branch manager
James McKeown of Hartford
and guard Timothy Girard of
Tolland told police they were
injected with something that
made them drowsy. Neither
was seriously hurt, Reynolds
said.
Police said Gerena and
Girard had returned from a 9:07
p.m. Monday pickup in Spring-
field, Mass.
They had pulled their truck
into a bay at the one-story, cin-
derblock Wells Fargo building
and began unloading money
when Genera grabbed
McKeown’s pistol, held it to his
head and threatened to shoot
him, Reynolds said.
He tied each with rope from
the neck to the legs so if they
struggled, the rope would
strangle them, Reynolds said.
Police said they received a
call at 11:08 p.m., after the
guards freed themselves.
Mahan said Gerena was
charged with two counts of un
lawful restraint, second-degree
assault with a firearm, three
counts of theft with a firearm,
and interstate transportation of
stolen property across state
lines.
He was described as Hispa-
nie, about 5-foot-6, and 150
pounds.

HOUSTON — A 19-year-old
iy missing for over a decade has
en identified by his mother as
le of six unclaimed victims of a
172 homosexual mass murder
ring responsible for
lyings of 27 young men.

Kepner last saw her son Nov.
12, 1972. He was supposed to
have returned two days later for
Sunday dinner. Police said he
never had a chance.
Officials said Kepner was brut
ally slain by a homosexual torture
mass murder ring which operated
in the Houston area in the early
1970s.
The ring was uncovered in Au
gust 1973 when Elmer Wayne
Henley, then 14 years old, confes
sed to police he killed the ring’s
mastermind. Dean Corll, 38.
Henley then revealed a grisly
three-year horror story of his and
Corll’s participation in the torture
killings. Henley led police to a
beach and boathouse along the
Texas coast between Galveston
and Beaumont where the 27
bodies were discovered.
A recent news report recalling
the mass murder ring triggered
Kepner’s suspicions her son may
have been one of the victims.
“About a month ago, when they
had a TV report about the 10th
anniversary of the boys being kil
led, they said if you had a son or
anyone missing to call a number. I
called and it started from there,”
she said.
Kepner said she described her
son to a medical examiner, who
used dental records to make a
positive identification.
“I keep telling myself it is really
real,' but I haven’t had a body or
anything to see to tell me that it is
real. I don’t doubt the evidence it
was my son,” Kepner said.
Kepner said she intends to re
member her son from their last
meeting.
“He was in good spirits and a
good mood and Was supposed to
come eat dinner with me (in two
days),” she recalled.
She and her four other children
plan services for Richard on Fri
day — one day before his
birthday.
