The Pittsburgh Press Friday, August 10, 1984 from page A I A6 ft 1 tlpp Association. Tunador told the students of the tragedy by telephone yesterday afternoon. No one can figure out a motive for the killing," said Tunador. Tunador, owner of an engineering company in Robinson Township, said the students described Aydin as an outgoing, friendly student who liked sports and played the piano. All of the students except Aydin are graduates of Istanbul Technical University.

Aydin, who graduated from Manisa Sports Academy in Manisa, Turkey, planned to study for a doctorate in physical education at a U.S. university. His family lives in Tunceli, Turkey, the students told Tunador. The assistant education attache to the Turkish consulate in New York City said yesterday she believed Aydin came from a poor family in eastern Turkey. He was described as a student with normal abilities who worked hard for academic success.

Another spokesman at the Turkish consulate said that he is trying contact Aydin's family. Although he declined to give figures, he said there are a number of Turkish students studying this summer in programs similar to Point Park College's. Erdogan majored in meteorology at the Turkish university and plans graduate studies in satellite weather monitoring and forecasting after he completes Point Park College's "English as a Second Language" course. The Pittsburgh Turkish-American Association, which has 220 members, schedules cultural and social programs for visiting students. Point Park College spokeswoman Ginny Frizzi said the Turkish consulate in New York asked the school to conduct the special summer program for the seven Turkish students.

The Turkish government, she said, paid the students' tuition and room and board fees. Once the students pass the intensive English language course, Ms. Frizzi added, the students will enroll in graduate programs at other U.S. universities.

Wednesday and was picked up by a motorcyclist who drove him to the Findlay police station. Erdogan led investigators to the crime scene Wednesday evening and again yesterday, after treatment at Allegheny General Hospital in the North Side. Tips from two informants led police to suspect the two women softball players. A person who recognized the two and their car from a news report phoned Findlay police Chief Paul Wilks and directed him to a West Allegheny High School yearbook that contained a photograph of Ms. Richardson.

The informant told police that Ms. Richardson "had been involved in similar situations in the past in which she was in the presence of men and a physical confrontation took place with her causing bodily injury to men." I Erdogan told police that he and 1 Aydin had been shot Tuesday night by women they met Sunday at the Three Rivers Regatta and had dated 'the following evening. After meet-ling the women at Point State Park and then going for a drink at a Downtown bar at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, the four went for a drive in the country, which ended on the secluded dirt road, about 20 yards from where Aydin's body was discovered 28 hours later. Police found 50 cents and a key to Point Park College dorm room on jthe body.

Aydin had been wearing blue jeans and had a green shirt Jpulled over his head and canvas deck shoes placed under his head. With the bullet still lodged in his Jneck, Erdogan led police to the jscene of the attack Wednesday, and Jyesterday identified Ms. Richardson from a picture in the 1983 West Allegheny High School yearbook. He later identified Ms. Pfender in a picture supplied to police by an informant.

Family and acquaintances of Ms. Tfender, interviewed at her mother's home in Beechview last night, said both women showed up at the house shortly before midnight Tues-'day covered with mud. Ms. Pfender's mother, Donna, said each woman took a bath and then they slept together on the living room sofa for the night before rising early. "They weren't acting any differ-, ently," Mrs.

Pfender said. "Char-; maine talked about how they won the softball game. Both of them were very muddy. They said they were pushing each other in the mud." Mrs. Pfender said her daughter told her they had drunk four free pitchers of beer at the Persin's Tavern, the team's sponsor.

However, Bernard Peck, coach of the Persin Bar Buccos, said the team held only a practice Tuesday night and did not play a game. Both Ms. Richardson and Ms. iPfender were at the practice, although only Ms. Richardson plays Sfor the team.

J. Peck said the team did not wear the Buccos' green uniforms with Jgray lettering at the practice. Erdo-gan told police the two women who assaulted him and killed Aydin were wearing blue softball uniforms. A friend of the Pfender family, JDonald Hatfi, who also spent Tuesday night at the Pfender house, said UJie got up at 5:30 a.m. and the women were gone then.

He said both Jwomen returned to the Beechview Jhouse sometime Wednesday afternoon and left about 7:30 p.m. During both visits, Ms. Richardson's yellow, J1978 Plymouth Horizon hatchback which police recovered at the Virginia Beach residence early to-day was parked in front of the Jhouse. The women spent Wednesday Slight at Ms. Richardson's mother's mouse in Imperial, Mrs.

Pfender Jaid. Gloria Pfender, Charmaine's sis-Ser, said Charmaine has "taken men 4or a ride" before. "She's done it before. I heard Jbout it from her," said Gloria, 19. and Sara would take the guys out there and either leave them Uhere or have the men take their pants off and leave them.

Crazy Stuff. High school stuff." Gloria Pfender also said her sister has "gone violent" against some Jnen, especially her father. She threw things at him and, at least $nce, threatened to kill him. She described her sister and Thomas OndreyThe Pittsburgh Press yesterday in Findlay Nevling said an informant told police "one of the women supposedly had beaten a man with a baseball bat." He added, however, that officers have been unable to find any police report about the incident. County police uncovered Aydin's body at 2:15 p.m.

yesterday buried in a shallow grave about 25 feet from the lovers' lane area where Erdogan said the women have driven them. Examination of the body revealed a bullet wound in his left shoulder and a knife wound in his neck. The remaining five Turkish students who are enrolled in the English as a Second Language class which Erdogan and Aydin were taking at Point Park College are cloistered in their Downtown dormitory rooms and are fearing for their lives, said Malik Tunador, president of the PittsburghTurkish-American interracial couple and against a white woman believed to be associating with blacks. In one of the attacks, a white women and her two adolescent chil- DAYS 5 Klansmen held in violent attacks on 2 home 1 dren were terrorized and she was whipped with a belt. In the other attack, a black man married to a white women received a severe head injury.

WASHINGTON (AP) Five Georgia Ku Klux Klansmen were arrested today on federal charges of breaking into homes at night to mount violent attacks against an READY FOR FALL Suat Erdogan, third from Richardson as "lesbian lovers for about a year" who were almost always together. Others at the Pfender house said the two women were open about their lesbian relationship. Ms. Pfender, who attended West Allegheny and Brashear high schools but did not graduate, recently completed a federal Job Corps training program. Ms.

Richardson had planned to join the Army, Gloria Pfender said, but never followed through. Ms. Richardson has been a self-employed auto body repairwo-man, she said. A West Allegheny High School coach said that Ms. Richardson was a good student and an excellent athlete.

The 1983 West Allegheny graduate was a starter for two years on both the basketball and softball teams, the coach said. "She was a very athletic girl involved in all types of sports." As the Buccos' left fielder in the Georgetown Softball League, she is "a good, aggressive ballplayer who likes to win. But she's not exceptionally aggressive," said Peck, her coach. Peck coached Peck's Bad Girls. The team was disbanded five years ago, and neither Ms.

Richardson nor Ms. Pfender played for that team, said Peck. Early reports by police informants that the team had an "anti-male bias" are "absolutely baloney," said Peck. "We don't know at this point whether it was just a little clique (Peck's Bad Girls) or more formalized than that," Nevling said. Ms.

Pfender's sister said the women borrowed a tent and had planned to attend a bluegrass festival this weekend, but she wasn't sure where. She said they often camped in the Clinton area, near Aydin's grave. Ms. Pfender's sister and mother insist that if Ms. Pfender was in Findlay, she must have been coerced into going there by Ms.

Richardson. Gloria Pfender said Ms. Richardson has a gun and goes hunting. "Charmaine never owned a gun," her mother said. "I telieve she is involved, but Sara led her into it." Charmaine Pfender Beach mm BONUS A left, aided in the search She told police a knife, which may be the one used in the assault, has been missing from her home for about two weeks.

But said Nevling, "We don't feel either one is any more innocent than the other. We're working on the idea that they acted together and that throughout the incident feelings were mutual." Nevling said there is no indication that drugs were involved in the killing. However, on Monday, Mrs. Pfender was among six persons arrested during a drug raid at her Beechview home. Mrs.

Pfender was charged with possession and possession with intent to deliver marijuana, as well as possession of cocaine and two counts of possession of dangerous drugs. She was freed after posting a $300 bond. Mrs. Pfender said her daughter doesn't smoke marijuana or take other drugs. She said she is an epileptic and takes Dilantin.

Erdogan told police a sordid tale of a friendly date that ended in death when the two women pulled a gun and knife on him and Aydin. After a few drinks at a Downtown bar, Ms. Richardson drove the three to a secluded spot on Clinton Enlow Road, one mile from Route 30 where the shooting occurred. Erdogan said Ms. Richardon stopped the car because Ms.

Pfender said she wanted to urinate. She got out of the car as Ms. Richardson admonished the two Turkish students not to look because her friend was shy. Both men turned their heads away as the driver, Ms. Richardson, pulled out a knife and Ms.

Pfender pointed a revolver at them from outside the car, Erdogan said. The two women, each of whom stands about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds, ordered Erdogan and Aydin out of the car. Police reported that one woman declined to take Erdogan's wallet when he offered it as Ms. Richardson held the knife to his neck. Ms.

Richardson took rope from the car and tied Erdogan's hands. Erdogan told police that when Ms. Pfender attempted to tie Aydin's hands, Aydin tried to slap her face. She responded by raising her weapon and firing a shot into the air. Erdogan said he then turned his head from the scene and heard another shot followed by his friend's scream.

He fled from the car and was shot in the right shoulder as Ms. Pfender ran after him, police said. Erdogan told police he stumbled to the ground and Ms. Pfender, in close pursuit, walked up to him and placed the revolver to the right side of his head. But as she pulled the trigger, Erdogan jerked his head back and the bullet grazed his neck.

Nevling said Ms. Pfender apparently believed Erdogan was dead and returned to the car. Erdogan later rose to his feet and fled to the heavily wooded area while the two women buried Aydin.
