FBI continues search for kidnapping suspect
United Press International
DURANGO. Colo. — A fugi
tive sought for crimes in several
states and suspected of abduct
ing a teen-age woman from a
Grand Junction shopping mall
is believed to have taken her to
Arizona.
The FBI said Wednesday,
Christopher Wilder, a Florida
race car driver and photogra
pher wanted for questioning in
two deaths and six disappear
ances around the country,
probably signed a Page, Ariz.,
motel register “Mr. and Mrs. L.
K. Kimbrell” one day after Che
ryl Lynn Bonavenlura, 19, dis
appeared.
Wilder, whose former busi
ness associate in Florida was L.
K. Kimbrell, registered in the
same manner at a Durango mo
tel the night of Bonaventura’s
apparent abduction.
The FBI appealed Wednes
day for help in confirming that
Wilder was with a woman in
Durango and Page.
At three other overnight
stops Wilder probably made be
fore staying in Durango, he is
believed to have signed only the
Kimbrell name. And in Las Ve
gas, Nev., March 31, the man
using the Kimbrell name went
back to using the single name,
the FBI said.
“We have developed infor
mation indicating that he
(Wilder) probably registered in
Arizona on March 30 as Mr.
and Mrs.,” FBI Denver spokes
man Don Gunnarson said.
A photo of Wilder was dis

WASHINGTON — Doctors
and other health workers met
Wednesday, via a teleconfer
ence, to launch a program
aimed at Finding Americans
who have Type II diabetes but
don’t know it. The 30,000 par
ticipants were conferring from
24 American cities.
Type II, or adult onset diabe
tes, is the least recognized form
of the disease because there
may be no early symptoms — or
if there are symptoms, they
generally remain subtle for
years.
The complications of the dis
ease, however, can be devastat
ing. Diabetes in all of its forms is
i? .'CTUrBE:
the third leading cause of death
in the United States, following
cancer and heart disease.
The American Diabetes As
sociation estimates 10 million
Americans have Type II diabe
tes, but only 5 million are aware
of it.
“Many of the Type II pa
tients are diagnosed not by the
symptoms, but by the complica
tions,” said Dr. Allan L. Drash,
the association’s president.
That means they may not be
recognized as diabetics until
they have a heart attack, stroke,
develop kidney disease, or be
gin to suffer vision problems,
said Dr. Thomas Huff, a pro
fessor of medicine at the Medi
cal College of Georgia.
Drash and Huff said people
in any of the groups considered
at risk for Type II diabetes
should be tested for the disease
before they get symptoms. Peo
ple who have the greatest
chance of developing the dis
ease include those over 40, the
overweight and those who have
diabetic relatives. Drash also
recommended testing for preg
nant women, who sometime de
