GEORGETOWN, Guyana (UPI)
[..]
Guyanese police and army troops said they had found the bodies of 409 men, woman and children sprawled through the Jonestown jungle commune where they had died alongside each other in a scene straight out of hell.

Even their pet cats and dogs were dead.

Police said they had found 36 survivors in the surrounding jungle and in Georgetown as well as Jonestown and that they were still searching for some 600 members who disappeared into the bush. It was unknown if they were dead or alive.
[...]
A U.S. team aided by Guyanese authorities and some survivors were trying today to identify the victims. They said all of the victims were Americans from California with the exception of seven Guyanese adopted children.

In addition to the victims at the commune, police said a woman in Georgetown in radio contact with the commune slit the throats of her three children and then her own to fulfill her part of the mass suicide pact.

405 person found dead at Jonestown

Meanwhile, Anthony Katsaris, wounded last Saturday in the ambush at an airstrip near the commune, is in stable condition at a Puerto Rico hospital today. He was shot through the arm and chest. Katsaris is at the hospital with his son.

The State Department yesterday confirmed that Patricia Parks, formerly of Ukiah, was the woman killed along with Cong. Leo Ryan and three newsmen in the ambush.

Initial reports listed Mrs. Parks' age as 18, which led to speculation the victim may have been her daughter Brenda.

The Parks family, including Gerald and Patricia, 44, son Dale and daughter-in-law Joyce, and two teenage daughters, left Ukiah for Guyana earlier this year. The fate of the rest of the family is not known.

November 21, 1978, Ukiah Daily Journal - UPI, page 2, Death squad 'thought they had killed me'—Cobb, by H.D. Quigg, UPI Senior Editor,

James Cobb Jr., a former Ukiahan, who was with the visiting party fired on by temple gunmen Saturday, said he was "very lucky."

He was one of eight San Francisco Bay area persons with relatives in the Temple who returned following the airport attack and later murder-suicide orgy of Temple leader Jim Jones and nearly 400 of his followers.

"I saw (NBC reporter Don) Harris, the congressman, (NBC cameraman) Bob Brown. I saw them go down. I ran to the jungle 50 yards and dove into the jungle. They thought they had killed me.

"I was there two hours, and it got dark and I climbed a tree...and I was scared."

Cobb, 45, who grow up with a family that followed the People's Temple creed faithfully, said he feared they were dead in the mass murder-suicide that followed the attack on the Ryan party.

He said two brothers, three sisters and his mother were in the camp when massive shootings and poisonings took place.

Cobb, a black man with a beard and wearing a little gold necklace, was asked if Jones, a professed fighter for civil rights, might actually have hated blacks.

"Oh, yes," Cobb replied. What Jones did and felt "was the worst that I have ever heard of in history."

Tuesday

Names of 17 former residents of Ukiah and Redwood Valley were on a partial list of 173 victims of the Jonestown mass suicide and massacre which occurred Saturday in Jonestown, the Guyana religious and agricultural community founded by Jim Jones, pastor of the Peoples Temple Church.

Included, all from Ukiah, are Velma Barnes, Jack Beam, Dorothy Buckley, Patricia Cartnell, Patty Cartnell, Candice Cordell, Chris Cordell, Amanda Fair, a Mr. Fair, Magnolia Harris, Paulette Jackson, and Karen Layton.

From Redwood Valley: Jim Jones, Marceline Jones, Danny Kutulas, Time Swaney, and Billy Jones, reportedly the pastor's grandson.

According to latest reports, 409 Temple members committed suicide or were shot shortly after an execution squad killed Cong. Leo Ryan, three newsmen, and Patricia Parks of Ukiah, who was leaving the commune with the delegation, as they prepared to take off from a small airport near the Temple commune.

Files indicate the Swaneys operated a home care center in Redwood valley.

Sources also say the 1970 death of Maxine Harpe could be traced back to Jones.

The 30-year-old divorced mother of three was found hanged in a garage near her Talmage residence.

Call Jim Randolph

Files indicate Harpe was having a relationship with Randolph, also a temple member and an employee of the county welfare department.

The 1974 death of Leo Bleier was yet another incident sources linked to Jim Jones and the People's Temple.

Sources said the 64-year-old Redwood Valley man owned property the temple wanted. When Bleier refused to sell. Jones allegedly used two young girls from the temple to sexually entrap him.

This presumably resulted in the arrest of Bleier in charges of child molesting.

According to official files, Bleier's death was a suicide, involving a self-inflicted gunshot wound and slashed wrists.

Investigators believed that he killed himself out of despair over his arrest.
