What possible meaning can the bizarre death have in con- nection with an 18-year-old col- lege youth who was respected by everyone who knew him, had average grades and apparently no major problems, and had been active in church and 4-H work? Oakland County Sheriff's detec- tives Don Francis, Jack Davis and Harry Maur hope to be able to answer the first question when Lockwood's grandmother, Mrs. Ar- thur B. Leaman, of Walled Lake, recovers sufficientty from 7 to examine the undergarments. But it may take several weeks of painstaking investigation to un-' cover the answers to the second problem. And they may never be gF ey known. Meanwhile, these facts have emerged: 1. Of the three doors to the house, two had spring locks.
