An article by Paul Cotton in Gay Life begins:
"Police in Gary, Ind., are investigating the shooting deaths of two transvestites last weekend.
"Larry Gillespie, 28, was found bleeding from gunshot wounds in the head sand stomach at 1:15 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, and was pronounced dead on arrival at Gary's Methodist Hospital. On Sunday, Oct. 28, at 7:30 a.m., Indiana University police found the body of Randy Best, 26, who had been shot in the head.
"It has not been determined if Best and Gillespie were shot with the same gun, but Detective William Burns said both men were wearing women's clothes and were known to be female impersonators.
"These were not Halloween costumes,' said Burns."
