Woman Found Dead!
Young woman was found with her neck cracked in a barn near the Salinas
Area in a place called “Tyler Ranch” yesterday afternoon. Coworkers say it
was an accident, but the suspect is still missing.
A middle-aged man named Lennie Small is
believed to be the main suspect in the police
investigation, for the murder of a young
woman inside a barn, near the Salinas
Valley. This man is facing 35 years of
prison and another 5 years if he does not
turn himself in. Close friend of the suspect
states: “Lennie’s a good guy, he don’t mean
no harm. He’s jus’ too strong for his own
good.” He has also included that this man
has a mental disability due to childhood
head trauma, therefore he is highly
dangerous if not controlled. Investigation
continues in search of wanted criminal
Lennie Small for sexual assault and murder.
The woman was found lying on the ground
dead when an elderly worker at the ranch
found her, as he soon alerted the other
members, she became deceased. The 18year-old woman had long black hair, green
eyes, her skin tone was fair, and she was
wearing a long red-flowered dress. If
identified, please report to the Sheriff’s
Office. This woman was wife of a man
named Curley West, he says: “I didn’t find
her, but I knew what she was doin’. Lennie
Small is very stupid to think that I will not
find ‘im and turn ‘im in.”

There is an ongoing autopsy of the woman’s
body to obtain some fingerprints of the
suspect. An interview with the suspect’s
supervisor demonstrates that the suspect
actually attacked the victim’s husband and
broke his arm, “he was only using his fist
and Lennie completely wrecked his arm”
says his supervisor. All of Lennie Small’s
felonies lead the investigation crew to
believe that the suspect has a possibility of
being on a crime marathon. This man
already has a criminal record of sexual
assault and animal harassment. Therefore, if
you see this man, run away and call 911
because “we have no telling on what he’s
going to do next” says the Investigation
Crew and the Sheriff of the Salinas Area.
