THERE'S a scene in the movie "The Paper" where Michael Keaton, playing an editor for a New York City tabloid, manages to stroll past a desk sergeant and into a police station without even identifying himself. Wyss had worked as a desk sergeant in the base's Security Police Office and left the Air Force on good terms the week before the slaying, which occurred about 90 minutes after Wyss left a going-away party in a base dormitory room. The desk sergeant on the line informs the chief that the mayor and her family have been taken hostage in their home during a bungled burglary attempt. |
