NANCYE LINGG NOT “PYJAMA GIRL”

GUEST AT HOTEL AFTER DISCOVERY OF BODY SYDNEY, February 25. The Daily Telegraph says that investigations indicate, beyond doubt that Nancye Lingg was'not the “Pyjama The investigations of The Daily Telegraph proved that Miss Lingg booked at a Sydney hotel on July 29, 1934, and checked out on September 26, 1934, 25 days after the body of the Pyjama Girl” was found. Detectives are still engaged in investigating the "pyjama girl" case and established contact with Mr C. W. Lynch, principal of the Lynch Family of Bellringers, who was practically certain, according to photographs shown to him of the dead girl, that her name was Nancye Ling, of San Francisco, who in 1934 came to Australia with the magician, Carter the Great, and toured Tasmania, Victoria and Sydney. Mr Lynch, who was with the company, left them in Tasmania. The company toured the East and then disbanded after leaving Singapore. Carter died in South Africa. The police regarded Mr Lynch’s story as most promising and invited him to Sydney to view the girl's body, which is preserved in a glass case at the University medical school.
