I am trying to find information on a murder, escape, and child abduction that took place in Walla Walla, Washington.The murder happened on Jan 1, 1861 on the Wiskey or Hog Eye Creek putting into the Touchet River, the victim was Isreal D. Davis the accused Alonzo J. Beebe. Alonzo was arrested and placed in the jail in the city of Walla Walla, around the end of March or begining of April he escaped. He and his family, father Philo, Brothers Hiram and George all dissapeared taking Laura daughter of Alonzo by Mary Cantrall whom he never married with them. She was 6 years old at the time. Mary did go through the court system in an attempted to get her daughter back. Where would I find information on this event? Were there newspapers in the area? I would like to know if Alonzo was ever caught and returned to Walla Walla to face trail.
