The articles above are also from the same edition of the L.A. Times for February 2nd 1958, pages 1 and 3 respectively. The page 1 article with the sub heading: 'Woman Victim's Body Identified' refers to the then recently killed Edith Hernandez whose 'body was found badly mutilated at 12303 Jersey St. Norwalk'. The address is actually 12303 Jersey Avenue. Sheriff's homicide identified the mutilated corpse and noted that she was dressed as a civillian.

/////////////////// Text explaining what this is all about and how the 1958 Norwalk mid-air between two military aircraft and this all ties in to the rash of airline crashes in December 1972.

The articles above are also from the same edition of the L.A. Times for February 2nd 1958, pages 1 and 3 respectively. The page 1 article with the sub heading: 'Woman Victim's Body Identified' refers to the then recently killed Edith Hernandez whose 'body was found badly mutilated at 12303 Jersey St. Norwalk'. The address is actually 12303 Jersey Avenue. Sheriff's homicide identified the mutilated corpse and noted that she was dressed as a civillian.

I find the choice of the word 'mutilated' to describe Edith Hernandez's body as perplexing as I do alarming. Ms. Hernandez reportedly died as the result of some crash debrie that punched the hole in her roof. There is no mention as to the specifics of the injuries Ms. Hernandez supposedly sustained from the so called falling crash debrie that fell through her roof. Mutilation sounds more like the result of interrogation and torture as opposed to a possible fatal head wound or injury to another vital part of the anatomy.

This is all made to appear even more ominous there with the fact that the L.A. Sheriffs Deputies from the Norwalk were combatting Norwalk locals there through the streets of Norwalk. Then theres the reports of Fireman running into the houses of Norwalk citizens. Was this the reason that the Norwalk locals were rioting in the streets.

The L.A. County Norwalk Fire Station sometimes also served as a live-action movie set for film productions involving airplane crashes amongst other things as well.

 

TThe L.A. Detective Who Turned Up At The Portland Hilton In March '79
And Was My Police Science Instructor In Glendora In 1971
Was An L.A. County Fireman In Norwalk In 1958

Before L.A. Det. Sgt. Alden 'Al' Ostman joined the L.A. County, CA Sheriffs Dept. and became a Police Science Class Instructor at Citrus College In Glendora, where I was one of his students from January through May 25, 1971, whilst still working out of the Sheriffs San Dimas Station. -- L.A. Det. Sgt. Alden 'Al' Ostman was an L.A. County Fireman then assigned to it's Norwalk Station in the late 1950's and 1958.

It was during one of our classroom sessions when we didn't have a field trip to go on, that Ostman as the instructor of this Police Science Class dubbed: Introdution to Public Service related a little bit of his personal history, at least in as much as that he was a fireman for L.A. County California before he resigned to join the L.A. Sheriffs Dept. -- This was sometime in the early 1960's according to Ostman.

As the so called mid-air plane crash between a U.S. Navy P2 Neptune patrol plane and U.S. military air transport plane that reportedly took over Norwalk, California on February 1, 1958, this means that Ostman was almost certainly assigned to one of the Fire and public safety crews dispatched to search for survivors, put out small fires and recover wreckage from the neighborhoods and streets of Norwalk.

Weirder still was Ostman's rather uncharateristically cagey behavior the last day of the Introduction to Public Service Class at Citrus College, Tuesday May 25,1971. -- When I showed up for class expecting our usual 3 hour session that day, the classroom was practically empty except for a couple of students Ostman was talking to at his desk. -- He then looked up at me, smiled as he checked me off on the class attendance roster and shook my hand as I thanked him letting me return to his class after my March '71 drug 'bust' and the 33 day combined stretch I did at Covina Jail, L.A. County Jail and Biscailuz Center Minimum Security where I was at for 22 days.

It was only 3 days later on Friday May 28, 1971 that the plane carrying America's most decorated World War II Hero Audie Murphy, who reportedly 'disappeared' along with the rest of the passengers and crew that were said to have boarded a twin engine Aero Commander 680 aircraft at Peachtree-DeKalb Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

This was followed only 9 days later by the purported bizarre mid-air plane crash between an Air West DC-9 and a Marine Phantom fighter jet over the Bradbury Hills, near Duarte on June 6,1971 only 8 miles from the place where I then lived ar in Azusa, California and was followed only hours later by the June 7, 1971 crash of an Allegheny Airlines Convair 580 twin, turbo-prop at Tweed-New Haven Airport in Connecticut.
