COOL BUT IN 70'S TODAY.
RAIN POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.
DRY AND VERY COOL, BUT NO RAIN, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE GUS GLASER DEATH. THIS AFTERNOON
SHORTLY AFTER 4, KMAQ RECEIVED A FAX FROM THE JACKSON COUNTY
SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
IT READS:
"AN AUTOPSY WAS PERFORMED AT THE IOWA OFFICE OF THE STATE MEDICAL EXAMINER ON THE BODY OF FRANCIS GLASER ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 BY DR. MICHELE CATELLIER, WHO DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF
DEATH TO BE GUNSHOT WOUND OF HEAD/NECK. THE MANNER OF DEATH
WILL BE CERTIFIED AS SUICIDE. INFORMATION GATHERED DURING THE COURSE OF THE INVESTIGATION, ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION FROM
FRANCIS GLASER SUGGESTING THAT HE WAS GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE, SUPPORTS THE FINDINGS OF THE IOWA STATE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE.
THE IOWA DIVISION OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND THE JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WILL SOON BE CONCLUDING THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS INCIDENT."
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT! NORMALLY, I GET AROUND 900 "HITS" DURING
A 24-HOUR PERIOD FOR THIS DAILY REPORT. THE NUMBER WENT UP
TO 2200 YESTERDAY UNTIL 8 THIS MORNING. I AM PRETTY SURE
THIS IS A RECORD NUMBER OF "HITS" IN A ONE-DAY PERIOD. ONE
PERSON EMAILED ME SAYING THE DEATH DATE OF GUS GLASER'S MOTHER
WAS WRONG IN MY REPORT. THE DATE OF 1980 WAS THE YEAR HIS
FATHER AUBREY DIED. I HAVE NO DIFFERENT DATE FOR HIS MOTHER'S DEATH. AUBREY BY THE WAY, WAS A FARMER, CARPENTER AND HAD ALSO WORKED AT CLINTON ENGINES. AS FAR AS WE KNOW NOW, THE ONLY SURVIVORS OF GUS ARE TWO MAQUOKETA COUSINS. THERE PROBABLY
ARE MORE, BUT NOT MANY. WE HAVE NOT LEARNED OF ANY FUNERAL
ARRANGEMENTS.
