The burial will be April 22, exactly two weeks after the girl's body was found at the edge of the creek in Boulder Cañon, eight miles west of the university city.

A Boulder minister will be asked to hold brief services for the girl. The choice of a minister provides a mystery in itself.

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

CHRISTIAN BURIAL
He promised the girl would have "Christian services."

After that, her body will be placed in an unmarked grave in the cemetery's county plot - the section reserved for paupers and the unidentified.

Meanwhile, the investigation of her death continued. Police in two states - Kansas and Colorado - were trying to trace a girl hitchhiker whose description tallied closely with that of the cañon victim.

The girl was seen in St. Francis, Kan., on the morning of April 3. She told several people she was running away from her home in Lenexa, Kan.

The girl was identified as a "Mary Jane Smith," whose age was about 17 to 20. She had strawberry blond hair, was about 5 feet 3 inches tall, and weighed 120 pounds.

The report from St. Francis was "the best lead" since a woman motorist said she saw the blood-smeared face of a teenage girl in a car on W. Colfax ave. the morning of April 4.

PICKED UP BY CAR
The woman, who was not named, gave her information to Detective Capt. Fred Zarnow on April 9 - the day after the body of a girl was found in the cañon about eight miles west of Boulder.

St. Francis Police Chief Fred Flowerdew told Everson the girl was picked up April 4 by a car bearing Kansas license plates.

Kansas State Police are now checking ownership of the plates.

A photograph of the girl's right thumb was taken thursday, Everson said. It will be sent to the FBI laboratory in Washington, he said.

Four sheriff's deputies searched a 10-mile-square area around the site where the body was found. They did not turn up any new clues, Everson said.
