Tuesday for a 30-yc;
who confessed he
k'le ! a three-year-old girl in a
drunken stupor over the week-
end.
The airman. Jimmy Shaver of
G'.',<pc!and. Texas was arrested
early Sunday morning, shortly
alter the mutilated body of three-
year-old Cheric Horton was found
in r. gravel pit.
Shaver's first statement impli-
cated a second. 20-year-old
airman, but—after a lie detector
test—he gave officers a second
statement exonerating the other
man and taking full blame.
Shaver, a tactical instructor at
Lackland Air Force Base who has
been married three times, said he
didn't remember what happened
after he picked up the little girl
outside a bar. He had been drink-
ing there earlier, and returned
after taking his companion back
to his barracks nt Lhckland.
He said he was "terribly drunk."
Shaver said the next thing he
remembered was being handcuffed
and being pushed down on the
back floor of a county highway
patrolman's car. He was hurried
to the Bexar County jai! before
officers told searching ^itizens he
had been found. The airman was
partially dressed in blood-spat-
tered clothing when arrested.
Officers said an examination of
the girl's body showed both of
her jaws had been broken, her
hips dislocated and her head in-
jured as well as the rape.
