jul 24, 1979 - William Dutremaine Body found

Description:

Found sometime in the afternoon.
**Note: While it is my opinion that the term "afternoon" applies to any time between noon and about 5pm, opinions on when the cutoff between "afternoon" and "evening" is vary from person to person (and also possibly with the seasons); for example, over the course of this project I've found a newspaper clipping that referred to 6pm as late afternoon, while another called 5pm early evening. So to cover all my bases I am having it apply to really any time after noon and before sunset.


COD drug intoxication
Proposed by: WS user(s)
Reasons proposed: Demographics, time period, SoCal; body dumped, found off of road, found nude, COD drug poisoning

Reasons against: The drugs found in his system (opiates, barbiturates, & amphetamine(s)) are unlike the ones Kraft used on his victims; distance from any confirmed dump sites; other possible manners of death (i.e., accidental) much more likely (according to FG, he was an addict)
