Edith Agnes and Howard Rutledge Steves were my grandparents. I can confirm the veracity of these newsclips, if that means anything to anyone. I was 13 when he killed her; I was living with my parents (Harold C Steves and Voyla Steves) in Anchorage, AK. After the murder, Howard R. Steves was found guilty and confined at Eastern State Hospital, WA for a few yearsand treated with lithium until his sanity returned, then released. He visited our family in Alaska, and lived with his sister Pat in WA until he died, around 1977-8. I sang at his funeral.
