The body of 45-year-old Marion Brown was found in her home at 688 Flower Street in Venice. Warren H. Russell was the chief witness and murder suspect, as he had been a frequent visitor to her home. He was released after further investigation. Edith Miller sits with her hands clasped while Dep. Cor. J. P. Kane questions her about Marion Brown's death. Miller was likely a neighbor. This photograph is likely related to the article, “Nude Death Calls Quiz,” Los Angeles Times, 11 Jul 1935: 9.
