Pasadena homicide detectives traveled to Salem, Ore., Saturday to question two suspects apprehended in connection with the shooting deaths of three young women in an expensive gated estate overlooking the Rose Bowl.

Police said Saturday night that there was little new in their investigation into the Friday killings, but were anticipating the surrender today of a third teen-ager wanted for questioning. Two teen-age acquaintances of the girls were arrested Friday in Salem, Ore.

The girls, Katherine Macaulay, 18, of Pasadena; Heather Goodwin, 18, of San Marino, and Danae Palermo, 17, of Alhambra, had each been shot at least once in the back of the head, investigators said.

Officers discovered the bodies after being summoned by a telephone tip to the luxury home in the 1300 block of Fairlawn Way at 2:30 a.m. Friday to check on the girls.

Pasadena Police Sgt. Jack Robertson said Saturday that his department has sent detectives to interview David Adkins, 16, and Burt Hebrock, 17, of South Pasadena, who were apprehended for questioning in the case. They were captured at a bus stop in Salem after authorities learned that the teen-agers had relatives in the area.

Robertson said it was not immediately known if the two boys would agree to voluntarily return to Southern California. If not, extradition proceedings will be instituted to bring the boys back to Pasadena, he said.

A third boy, Cayle Matthew Fielder, 16, of Alhambra, has informed Pasadena authorities that he would turn himself in today.

Robertson said detectives were continuing to pursuing leads in the case, but reported that there were few new details to explain what led up to the deaths.

Friends in South Pasadena, where some of the teen-agers went to high school, said that Adkins had dated Macaulay for a time but they did not know if that relationship had any bearing on the deaths.
