STRTE I Investigation renewed | COLUMBIA ? Authorities have renewed their investigation into the Dec. 20. 1970 slavine of a 17-vpar old Lexington County girl. | Both the State Law Enforcement Division and the Lexington County Sheriff's Department are going over new information concerning the abduction and death of Kathy Jo Anderson. SLED assigned an agent to the case last month after a Columbia auto dealer told officers the names of three persons who had been mentioned as participants in the slayings by three different women.

Miss Anderson's sister, Carolyn, 25, said she is "happy" the case is being restudied. "I have never been satisfied with it. I hope there is some way to keep [ investigating until they find the real killers," she said. Connolly optimistic NORTH PHAHIFSTOM ? Tnhn oil., . .
