Photograph article dated September 12, 1962 partially reads, "The 500 block of Harps St. has become a tombstone in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hanna. They've had all they can stand of it. They're getting out. It has been 4 1/2 months since their daughter, Stephanie, and a foster child, Paula Cram, were found dead after they apparently locked themselves in a San Fernando neighbor's unused refrigerator. 'I just don't like this neighborhood anymore,' Mrs. Hanna said. 'I see the garage (in which the 6-year-old girls died) everytime we go out that way. 'I look up the street and see that little girl who knew they were locked in there. It kind of makes me sick,' she said. That's why they are leaving as soon as possible." Pictured is Mrs. Richard Hanna.
