Guard spokesman in Miami.
Waldschmidt said before
Sunday’s seizure, he believed
the largest maritime seizure
ever made occurred nearly two
months ago, when U.S. customs
officials in Miami discovered
950 pounds of cocaine aboard a
sailboat.
The tip came from agents at
EPIC, the federal government’s
El Paso Intelligence Center.
The agency is a multi-purpose
intelligence gathering network
that provides information on
drug smuggling and other
criminal activity, Kelley said.

said of statements made to
Sheriff Jim Boutwell of George
town.
Walsh said Lucas indicated
he “was not satisfied” with the
sex and believes the woman
might have been wearing a tam
pon. Investigators recovered a
tampon made from a paper
napkin and could introduce it
as evidence.
The body was clad only in
orange socks and bore a ring on
one hand.
Walsh said the confessions in
cluded comments from Lucas
about two matchbooks he saw
near the body and a description
of a guardrail at the scene.
R.V. Barker of rural George
town testified Monday he saw
the body at about 4:30 p.m. on
Oct. 31, 1979, as he drove along
the Interstate 35 service road.

fied the woman died of strangu
