Valley Times TODAY article dated February 12, 1959 partially reads, "Mrs. Gemma Caruana, widowed by murder, won her freedom today. Walking from the Van Nuys courtroom where a murder charge was dropped, she broke into convulsive sobs... Her husband Ronald, a 27-year-old Canoga Park photographer, was murdered last month. His best friend, John C. Neely, 32, who has confessed the killing, originally had implicated Mrs. Caruana."
