Among several stories related by Marvin S. Boyd, 29, was one that the unidentified young blonde whose body was found beside Boulder creek on April 8 was his wife, Jeanette Harris, of Harrisburg, Penn., whom he said he killed near Tucson, Ariz.

"My opinion is that he has a murder complex," Police Chief Voll Russell of Van Buren, Ark., told Sheriff Everson.

Boyd, who said he has been a mental patient and smokes marijuana cigarets [sic], could not or would not describe his supposed wife. "Says girl blonde but won't elaborate," Russell reported.

DESCRIBES ANOTHER VICTIM
On the other hand, Boyd gave a detailed description of another young woman he said he found stabbed to death beside him in a hotel bed. He related that he buried that woman, whom he named as Virginia Grossbeck, in a Mexico desert.

Everson also had suggested to Chief Russell that Boyd be questioned about his alleged trip from Tucson to Boulder with the body of his wife. Boyd would not answer those questions. Earlier he had talked of transporting the body in a hearse.

The Arkansas prisoner said a picture of Miss Harris was in his baggage at the Y.M.C.A. in Phoenix, Ariz. Officers learned he has no baggage there.

TELLS OF STABBING
Boyd first said another man stabbed Miss Harris to death with a knife. Later Boyd said he was the killer. The body found west of Boulder bore no stab wounds.

There was one statement in Chief Russell's long report which might indicate an outside possibility that Boyd really does have some knowledge of the Boulder county case.

"He is unusually anxious to deny that he has been in Colorado," the Van Buren police chief said. "He wants to know why the officers are interested in Colorado although he freely answers questions about other states."

Russell said Boyd has "better than average education and a good knowledge of wide areas of the country."

Boyd also told of a third girl-slaying and said he stole the purse of a woman who was killed in an automobile accident. The prisoner told of his bogus check operations in several states.

Sheriff Everson, who has talked with Chief Russell twice by telephone, said they know of nothing further that can be done to attempt to link Boyd with the Boulder county slaying.
