Bonnie Morton, murdered

International News Photos (New York, N.Y.) · February 8, 1958

19-year-old bonnie Morton her skull shattered by 5 or 6 gunshot wounds, was found dying early today on the kitchen floor of her sister's home. 3 children with whom she was baby-siting slept soundly in another room, unaware of the savage attack which claimed her life. Police were baffled by the apparently motiveless killing. Her assailant, officers said, evidently felled her with his first shot, then stood above the prostrate form and pulled the trigger again and again in a frenzied outburst of brutality.
