Austin council
seeks to aid
crime victims
AUSTIN (AP) — The newly
formed Victims of Crime Advisory
Council was told Thursday that local
organizations need help in assisting
crime victims, particularly in rape
and child abuse cases.
According to C.E. Evans, of San
Antonio, past president of the Texas
Association of Criminal Justice Plan
ners, “You got a lot of victims out
there andjust a little money.”
“The numbers of victims is in
creasing greatly, particularly in do
mestic violence,” Evans told the
council, which was appointed by
Gov. Mark White last month to set
guidelines for distribution of $2.5
million in federal funds for crime
victims.
Peggy Carroll, speaking for the
district attorney’s office in Collin
County, said, “The criminal justice
system cannot operate without vic
tims as witnesses but currently the
system operates more on behalf of
the criminal than the victim.”
According to Mike Curran, assis
tant district attorney in McKinney,
“There has been a tremendous in
crease in child abuse. You especially
need to funding for counties under
150,000 population.”
The advisory council will an
nounce its guidelines later and dis
tribution of grant funds will be han
dled by the governor’s office.
Kilgore Police Chief C.R. Headen,
who is a director of the Kilgore Rape
Crisis Center, said,“We need more
funds at the local level. We are hav
ing a tremendous increase in the
amount of physical and sexual abuse
to children and we must help them.”

o leads found in Rio Grande murders
Inn
EL PASO (AP) — Law enforce-
Jnent agencies on both sides of the
Border are working to find a lead in
the rape-strangulations of four
Jivomen found floating in the Rio
prande, officials said Thursday.
A fifth woman was drowned, and
sixth body was found Wednesday,
it was so decomposed that police
haven’t been able to determine
Ivhether she was also raped and
[trangled.
T he discoveries, all within the last
Jour weeks, prompted police to warn
Jvomen to stay clear of the river after
dark.
El Paso County Sherriff Leo Sa-
naniego, whose office is investigat
ing the murder of a woman found
March 25 in a canal fed by the Rio
Grande, said, “To my knowledge, we
haven’t had anything like that befo
re.”
Authorities believe the body was
dumped into the river before drift
ing into the canal.
“From time to time we find a body
in the river, someone who drowned
trying to cross,” Samaniego said.
“But to have a total of six, and at
least five with the same characteris
tics, is something to worry about.”
The sheriffs department is also
cooperating with Juarez, Mexico,
police on three of the investigations.
Roman Garcia said 75 people
have been picked up for questioning
in Juarez, and patrols were set up
along the river since two young
women were found floating on the
Mexican side Saturday.
“These people we’ve been picking
up, it’s just to see if they have any in
formation, if they’ve heard any
thing,” he said. “Someone’s bound to
have seen something.”
In all but two of the cases, the
women were in their teens or early
20s, were scantily clad and had no
identification. The woman who
drowned was fully dressed and has
been identified as a Juarez resident,
according to El Paso police.
Samaniego said all the victims ap
peared to be illegal aliens.
“There’s a lot of theories,” he s^id.
“But I know they’re related. They
must be related.”
The four women whom police are
certain were sexually assaulted and
then strangled were only wearing
brassieres, making identification
more difficult. Their descriptions
don’t correspond to any missing-
persons reports in Juarez or El Paso,
making Samaniego believe that they
were not from either city.
“I have a feeling they’re not Mexi
can aliens, but Salvadorans or Nica
raguans being brought in by coy
otes,” or people who make a living
taking illegal aliens across the Rio
Grande into the United States, he
said.
