4 Members of Crew Found Slain on Ship
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Four crew members of a freighter anchored in the Miami River were found slain on their ship, a crime scene so bloody that police couldn’t say whether they had been stabbed or shot, a Metro-Dade Police detective said as officers removed the bodies of three men and a woman.

The Vanderpool Express arrived in Miami from Haiti on Saturday.
