Murdered wife, Barbara Jean Jepsen, is buried as more than 300 people attend her services at the Little Brown Church in North Hollywood (Studio City). Police continue their search for the killer, who stabbed the 18-year-old bride with a 10-inch-butcher knife, and left her nude and lifeless body in the bedroom of her apartment; her 20-year-old husband, Joe Earl Jepsen, found her upon returning home from work.
