The death of Mrs. Nancy Louise Haffner, 28, of Cincinnati, continue to puzzle police there today.
Acquaintances found her body in her apartment Sunday at noon after the former Charlestonian failed to keep a babysitting engagement for a friend Saturday night.
Mrs. Haffner moved to Cincinnati six years ago. She worked as a proof reader for the Cincinnati Post and Times-Star and also was a certified flying instructor for single and two-engine aircraft.
Dr. Cleveland, coroner, said in Cincinnati there remained the possibility the woman died accidently and he was not ready to pronounce it as a homicide.
Police Sgt. Russell Jackson said the case remained "wide open" and that "in cases like this we always go on the it may have been murder."
Dr. Cleveland said the death resulted from a skull fracture at the base of the brain which led to an internal hemorrhage, causing brain damage.
Sgt. Jackson said one theory is that Mrs. Haffner may have fallen and struck her head on a coffee table which showed a blood smear.
Dr. Cleveland said he had yet had to complete chemical tests of the medicine Mrs. Haffner had been taking. Police said Mrs. Haffner had been painting book cases and the medicine may have made her dizzy.
The body is at Wilson Funeral Home here.
