P"W™^| HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT ^TRINITY WED..FAIR. 40: THTI, PT T TP Body Less Than Block Away From Trinity Camp Strangled Woman Found In Zion Hill Cemetery D BY JONATHAN HEUSER News Writer • Grim reality shattered the relative peace of the Trinity campus when the body of a young woman was discovered last week in the Zion Hill Cemetery. According to Lieutenant Frederick D. Lewis of the Hartford Police Depart- ment, the body of nineteen year-old Sandra Rivera was found by a cemetery caretaker about noon on Sunday, March 4. Police investigators concluded that she had been strangled by hand but had .not been sexually assaulted. Ms. Rivera, of no certain address, had been arrested several times for pros- titution but had not been convicted. She was found with her white tank top, white rugby shirt and black wool sweater pulled up over her face, and wore nothing else except white socks and pink and white rosary beads around her neck, said Officer Lewis. Hartford police have no suspects and. few clues.
