Photograph article dated February 21, 1962 partially reads, "A grim desert search for missing baby sitter Donna Marie Frislie ended Tuesday at a shallow grave 22 miles east of Palmdale. The brutally murdered body of the 14-year-old girl was discovered at 1:40 p.m. by two amateur prospectors, John T. Ganaway, 28, 1617 East Ave. I, Lancaster, and Frank E. Diller, 73, 20538 East Ave. Q-K, Palmdale. Donna had been the object of a three-state search since her disappearance Feb. 13 from a Lancaster home where she was babysitting with three children." A man's wristwatch band (pictured) was found next to the shallow grave where Donna Marie was found.; See image #00130820 for additional photo in this series.
