Alice Taylor, 25, Springdale, Ark. The third young woman was not identified immediately. ‘The five were only partly clad. But- ler said he forced his way into their cabin after they failed to respond to his call, and found a gas stove burn- ing and all the cabin’s windows closed. He said Reed apparently had fallen across the stove, as he was burned badly. Atkinson and one woman were lying on the floor and the two other women on a bed.
