The continuing investigation by Lenoir County authorities of the murder of Sgt. Robert Eugene Schroeder is still without clues. The veteran Marine’s body was found on July 25 and an autopsy set the death time as late in the night of July 21st. His body was found in the trunk of his own car which was parked by a filling station 3 miles east of La Grange on the Kinston highway. Three .45 caliber bullet wounds—one in the left temple, one in the left neck area and the third in the left chest section—were inflicted by the murderer after the Ohio Marine’s body was placed in the car.
