A purse, flashlight and rope were found alongside the body when it was discovered. Through items found in the purse, detectives surmised that the viijttm was Betty Pleasant. The California car license plate was also registered in her name. The car registration was determined in November when the vehicle was found aban­ doned on River road. A nation­ wide computer message was entered in an attempt to locate the owner. When the reply indicated it belonged to Ms. Pleasant, police officials were contacted in Sacramento. They advised there had been no report of a stolen car or of a missing girl. On Feb. 5, detectives were notified that the car had not been claimed and at that time as decision was made to open the trunk. Detectives decided to check out the car themsleves because there was something unusual about it. Since the car was iki good condition, very clean and contained many personal possessions, officials were puzzled as to why on one had claimed the auto. After authorities question the girl's family in California, it was determined that Ms. Pleasant had left California in November with $100 in her pocket to drive to Chicago. She lived there for a short time with a friend who has since returned to California. When the friend was questioned as to why he had not reported the girl missing, he advised he had reported her missing to Chicago police in December. The notice was never entered into the nation­ wide^ computer because the girl'f: friend did not know hfer birth date and other specific information needed to complete a computer message. It was learned that the girl's family reported her disappearance to Sacramento authorities Jan. 7. When questioned as to why detectives had not inspected the abandoned vehicle sooner, one replied that the department does not usually check out abandoned cars. A report is kept,, in the Sheriff's depart­ ment concerning the place an abandoned vehicle has been The owner receives that lation from the Sheriff's tment and then makes jements to retreive the aut<*( directly with the towing agency. Anther reason given for the delafy was that during the latter part of November and the first part of December, county of­ ficials were busy'trying to located Richard O. Macek, formerly of McHenry, who had jumped bond on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. Ironically, Macek was found in California and returned to Wisconsin because authorities there had chaises on him which occurred prior to those in McHenry county. Whether or not the body is definitely that of Betty Pleasant will be determined this week. California authorities are sending a fingerprint of Ms. Pleasant which will be compared to that of the woman found in the trunk.

Since the demand for services is ever-increasing, the need to provide shorter- term and innovative alter­ native care rises so as to give help to all who need it." Mally states that as a provider of community ser­ vices, the Family Services clinic must account to the community which lends its support for these services- whether the state, county, general public or consumer. But he issues a warning while noting the agency has responded well to the need for accountability. Mally said the agency should not lose its flexibility to be creative and innovative and "that we spend more time in accounting than we do in providing" necessary services. 'Most important'," he concluded, "We do not wish to lose sight of our main goal and objectives-to provide human services to human beings who are often desperate in their searching for solutions to their problems."
