Peace Corps Officials Visit Scene, Bail Is Sought, Peppy’s Body Is Flown to Dar es Salaam

Abstract

Peace Corps country director Paul Sack, Nairobi pathologist Gerald Dockeray, and a professional photographer fly to Maswa, where the police inspector in charge of the case walks them through the scene and describes the potential eyewitness testimony. One witness saw Bill fighting with Peppy, and when the witness came close, Bill sent her away. Meanwhile, the bail hearing for Bill takes place in Mwanza. Although it would be most unusual to grant bail in a homicide case, Bill’s attorney argues that Bill’s health issues, pneumonia and depression, require his release. Bill is not released on bail. Peppy Kinsey’s body, accompanied by a Tanzanian police officer and Tom McHugh, is flown to Dar es Salaam.
