Sheriff Arthur Everson said it was established that the "strawberry blonde" girl, 17 to 20 years old, who was hitchhiking from St. Francis to Denver April 3, had definitely been seen alive at Julesburg, Colorado, April 9, the day after the other girl's body was found in the cañon.

The hitchhiking girl, who gave the name Mary Jane Smith, told persons she was running away from home at Lenexa, Kansas. She was described as about five feet three inches tall and weighing 120 pounds, measurements which coincided with those of the dead girl.

Coroner George W. Howe said that services for the unidentified body will be held Thursday, April 22, with a Boulder minister conducting brief Christian rites.

GRAVE UNMARKED
"We don't know who she was or what religion she followed," said Howe. "We can only do what we think is right."

Her body will be interred in an unmarked grave in Columbia cemetery at Boulder.

Sheriff Everson said a photograph of the dead girl's right thumb has been taken and will be sent to the F. B. I. laboratory in Washington, D. C., in an effort to effect identification.

ESTABLISHES AGE
Dr. Phillip P. Pyles of Boulder, dentist who made x-rays of the girl's teeth, reported that from his inspection of her mouth and taking into consideration the position of the lower right third molar (wisdom tooth), he would estimate the girl to be 19 to 19 1/2 years of age.

As another thought, he added in his report, it is a good possibility that she lived in an area where there was a detectable amount of fluorine in the water, which would account for her "fine teeth".

"She does not have mottled enamel, however," the dentist's report said, which would indicate the area in which she lived, from the age of three to 13 years, the water was not greater than one part per million of water."

He verified that there were no fillings in any of the teeth, and that there were no cavities with the exception of one on the outside of the upper right molar.

Meanwhile Undersheriff D. M. Teegarden and a crew of deputies spent Thursday combing the mountain area west of Boulder and along Boulder creek. They searched culverts, gulleys, and old cabins which were open, but report finding nothing to tie in with the girl's murder.

Officials said the girl had been beaten into unconsciousness before she was thrown down a rock embankment at the edge of the creek. There was no clothing or other articles, with the exception of three bobby pins, to help officers in their search for her identity.
