Yeah, yeah, santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies are searching the heavily wooded area around Henry cowell's state park, northeast of santa Cruz. For any trace of the up to three people various witnesses have placed near the Otakar people described as possibly in their early twenties. Two men

00:00:23.150 - 00:00:36.160

and a woman, all with long hair. The car was found in a railroad tunnel in the park, Tuesday evening. It had been driven down the tracks, set a fire and was later struck by a southern pacific switch engine impounded by authorities. Now, the car shows the

00:00:36.160 - 00:00:50.100

obvious damage inflicted by the impact of the train car collision and inside some fire damage. It may also have shown some clues to investigators before cameras were permitted close to it, but if it did, no one in authority is talking about it. Now, santa Cruz County

00:00:50.100 - 00:01:08.660

Sheriff Douglas James did release some new information about the case today that dealing with reports of the car and three people being spotted at a campsite sometime Tuesday after the murders and before the car was abandoned. Mhm. There was an area where they did stay overnight

00:01:08.670 - 00:01:33.120

which we did stake out. Well, we're not pastilles, but they were there. They could have been there, we have our scientific Investigation bureau people along with the CIA experts at the location right now. You know, it's it's up in the body june area. We're not positive

spent the night have led us to maintain surveillance search in the vicinity. Throughout the ensuing ensuing hours, we are pressing a concerted search effort with deputies on foot and mounted personnel in that vicinity. At this hour, we can stay further that the preliminary autopsy reports Individual

00:03:00.480 - 00:03:28.180
