CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : ORANGE COUNTY : Man’s Suicide Leads to Hunt for Women
- Share via
Orange County sheriff’s officials said they are looking for several women whose credit cards were found in the home of a Lakewood man who killed himself last month after investigators arrived at his door to ask him about the slaying of a woman who had been in the process of renting a room from him. Lt. Richard Olson said investigators want to ask the women how Steven Christopher Walters may have acquired their cards. So far, officials have been unable to track down any of the women, he said. Investigators also found in Walters’ possession numerous personal effects of Lori Mae Calhoun, 41, a Long Beach woman whose body was found in Laguna Hills on March 21. Olson said Walters is the prime suspect in Calhoun’s slaying, but he emphasized there is not enough evidence to suggest he harmed any other women.
