City Woman Is Murder Victim
Brockton Police today learned that a homicide victim, found on Aug. 16, submerged in water in a culvert in New Castle, Me., has been identified as Florence Estelle (Norcross) Lauze, 19, who was last known to have resided at 312 North Main St.
Det. Lt. John J. Bukunt and Det. Frank P. Gentile reported that a Maine medical examiner has given the cause of death as strangulation.
Two State Police detectives from Maine arrived here this morning, and, in conjunction with Det. Gentile, are probing the crime in the local area. Details of the incident, the local detective said, are "sketchy at this time," adding that the investigation now is centering in this area, "with some possible leads."
Brockton officials stated that the victim was the daughter of Mrs. Claire E. Magnus, of East St., and was the estranged wife of Richard Paul Lauze who present residence has not immediately been ascertained. Reportedly the couple had been married in Sharon.
