Man Sought in Death of General Arrested
A man wanted in the shooting death of Maj. Gen. Marion Carl, one of the Marine Corps’ most decorated fighter pilots, was arrested by the FBI in California. Jesse Stuart Fanus, 19, had been sought since June 28, when Carl was killed during a robbery at his home in rural southern Oregon. Fanus was arrested without incident in Pasadena. Carl was the Marine Corps’ first fighter ace. He shot down 18 enemy planes during World War II and twice won the Navy Cross. He went on to become a test pilot after World War II, setting speed and altitude records and flew U-2 spy plane missions over China.
