| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ March 7, 1958 Mutilated Body Found on Desert The mutilated body of an elderly man was found last week on the desert 20 miles southeast of Salome. Yuma County Sheriff Pete Newman said an autopsy indicated the man died from loss of blood and shock. A bloody pocket knife was found by the body which was identified from papers found as George Elliott, about, 70, of Virginia City, Mont. Sheriff Newman said the body was found a short distance from where Elliott’s car was parked along a desert road and that only one set of track, apparently Elliott’s led from the car to the spot where the body was found. Whether foul play was involved had not been determined, says the sheriff. Mr. & Mrs. Elliott had been spending the winter near Congress. It is understood that he had gone prospecting February 22 and, when he did not return within a few days, a search was started leading to the finding of the body. |
