Murder Unsolved
Heading the investigation were Capt. Harold Mulbar of the state police, Sheriff Edward K. Thomas, Oakland County Prosecutor Donald C. Noggle and Pontiac Police. Numerous leads have been followed by the same officers in the Thompson case, but it remains unsolved. A Detroit barber, William Jantilo, 49, has been held without charge for the questioning since Saturday, but the state police indicated he probably would be released soon. Held with him is Mrs. Marie Dodenhoft, 38, who operated a beauty salon adjoining Jantilo's shop. Mrs. Thompson's husband, Louis V. Thompson, wealthy Detroit auto dealer, was interrogated for five days and then released.
