Cab Driver Connection?
Police Compare notes in unsolved cabby slayings
By Phil Barber/Gazette-Journal
[no date given]
Authorities are trying to determine whether the slayings of a Reno cab driver in 1988 is connected with the discovery Monday of the apparant remains of a South Lake Tahoe cab driver.
Both cases are unsolved.
Whittlesea Checker Taxi driver Loys Flournoy, 66, was fatally stabbed and dumped near Mustang Ranch on Dec. 8, 1988. Tahoe Ready-Cab driver Jim Fripp, 31, disappeared Oct. 23, 1989.
A hunter found Fripp’s wallet and glasses and bits of clothing and bones Monday afternoon on Sierra Ski Ranch Road, of U.S. Highway west of Echo Summit.
. . .
Police said Fripp’s family in England was told long ago that he probably had been killed. Police informed the family of Monday’s finding. Family members said it’s unlikely they’ll come to Lake Tahoe as Fripp’s father and brother did in 1989 to help in the search. Fripp was described by his father as a globe-trotter who came to the United States in 1988.
In Fripp’s last radio transmission to his company dispatcher, he said he was leaving Harrah’s Tahoe to take a fare to Kyburz, about 30 miles away.
The next day, his white station wagon cab was found in the Bijou Elementary School Parking lot. The remains and items found this week were between South Lake Tahoe and Kyburz, police said.
There was no money found in Fripp’s wallet. adding to a police theory he was killed during a robbery.
