Walter Waidhauser Jr., 34, was in dicted for killing the Wanstraths and pleaded to a 30-year sentence. He was granted immunity and tes tified for the state. He remains in prison. “You have numerous confessions from Allen Janecka,” Duff-Smith said. “You have numerous confes sions from Walter Waidhauser. “You have numerous confessions from Paul MacDonald. “No matter how much evidence I presented, no matter how many times I proved witnesses lied or their information was false, they just bur ied it. “All I can do in my power is show, the lies —- how J. was convicted wrongly, how I was attacked.” A Houston police detective, Johnny Bonds, is credited with breaking the case after working hun dreds of hours poring over bank and telephone records. And those records showed that Duff-Smith used Waidhauser as a middleman to pay hitman Janecka $ IT000 for the Zabolio slaying and between $11,000 and $14,000 for the Wanstrath killings. Another strange twist in the Duff- Smith case was the original ruling by the Harris County medical exam iner, The niedical examiner ruled that the Zabolio death was a suicide and that Mrs. Wanstrath killed her hus band and child before taking her own life. - Open: Saturday Sept. 5,1987 3 p.m. till 7:30 p.m. f Texas A&M vs. L.S.U. jj Quality First Dept, of Food Services DEADLINE: mmm SEPT E IIHi km* I wl i 4 il [£4 UWIJ HF nwyiD) !
