Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated April 27, 1962 partially reads, "A scrawled 'hate-note' - possibly the last thing 6-year-old Paula Cram wrote - has been discounted by San Fernando police as a clue to the murderer of Paula and Stephanie Hanna, also 6. The note, printed in blue block letters, was found next to the garage of Mrs. Leonora Greenfield, 551 Harps St., where the bodies of the girls were discovered Monday in an unused refrigerator. The note read, 'To some one who is mean so we do not like you.' 'That note is nothing,' said Police Chief Winford Slaughter. He explained that investigators have learned that Paula wrote several such notes and Stephanie was delivering them Monday night to a neighbor woman whom the girls did not like." Photograph caption reads, "Officers Gene O'Tremba, Perry Harris sift trash for clues in double-slaying. Scrawled note, believed written by Paula Cram, discounted in murder of Paula and Stephanie Hanna."
