The victim (pictured below) was discovered in one of the ranches barns by the bunkhouses "swamper" , Candy , when he entered the barn to talk the accused murderer, Lennie Small. What he found was the dead corpse of the wife of Curley, neck snaped, and a dead puppy, both halfway covered in hay.
Candy quickly rushed to the rest of the ranch hands, who has just finished their game of horseshoe, telling them of the tragic event and leading them back to the barn, where they looked upon in horror
We briefly talked to the victims husband, Curley, before he fled on horseback, searching for the supposed murderer, Lennie Small. Here is what he had to share: "I'm goin'," "I'm gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard my self, even if I only got one hand. I'm gonna get I'm"
Curley had previously injured his hand in a accident with a piece of farming equipment, hence why he referred to himself as only having one hand. His injured hand was in a cast and sling.
Here is an image of the supposed murderer , Lennie Small, along side his companion, George Milton. The two had been traveling with each other for an undisclosed amount of time previous to the event. All that is know at the moment is that they were both involved in an incident in Weed, California, the details of which are unknown at the current time.
If you are aware of or could offer any clues about the location of Lennie Small, please contact you local police department or other law enforcement agency as soon as possible
