Police find missing
GM executive dead

Con'inued from Page 1)
McDowell's disappearance had
baffled investigators because of
the lack of any ransom demand.
"We still aren't sure if this is
a kidnaping, a h o m i c i d e or
something else," a Detroit Po-
lice spokesperson told reporters
before the body was discovered.
HE LEFT HIS home in the
well-to-do northern suburb of
West Bloomfield Township at
6:45 a.m. Wednesday for a
speaking engagement dt the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dear-
brs. His wife, Ann, reported
him missing after she was ni-
fied that he failed to show up.
McDowell's 1977-model Chevy
station wagon was found before
dawn yesterday near the State
Fairgrounds on Detroit's north-
ern edge, bordered by Ferndale.
Investigators found a sports
coat and "miscellaneous papers"
belonging to McDowell on the
car floor.
THERE HAD been no ransom
demand following his disappear-
ance.
Neither McDowell's family nor
GM has received any ransom
demand, the spokesperson said.
"There seems to he no ex-
planation for h is disappear-
ance," said West Bloomfield De-
tective Roy Clark. "He was a
good family man and a good
employe."
McDOWELL, who is married
with two teen-aged children,
has been with GMl since 1958
ssd has held his current posi-
tion since 1971.
Auto industry executives and
their famlileschave been the
vrictims of occasional kidnap
plots over the past two years,

but a GM spokesperson said
McDowell's position "wouldn't
make him susceptible to any
fool play."
The latest incident took place
in November, 1975, when Timo-
thy Stempel, 13-year-old son of
GM executive Robert Stempel,
was abducted while skateboard-
ing near his home in Bloomfield
Hills, aonther well-to-do north-
ern suburb.
The boy was r leased un-
harmed three days later after
the payment of a $150,000 ran-
som. Two young Detroit men
were later arrested in the kid-
naping, convicted and sentenced
to prison.

she called their "inaction."

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
Director Jame; Whale (1935)
This is Whale's own parody of his earlier classic
FRANKENSTEIN. Boris Korloff as the monster
is resurrected, and matched (patched?) up with
Elsa Lancaster. Along the way, pathos is inject-
ed, and the monster even learns how to talk and.
to smoke a cigar. The creation scene at the
finale rates as one of the best sequences in all
of Hollywood extravaganzas. A brilliant work by
one of horror film's best directors.
