BOY MURDERS JANE AND IS KILLED BY COPS, TARZAN UNHURT

by Bob Walsh

Depending on how old you are Ron Ely, 81, is who you remember as being Tarzan.

On Tuesday night the local constabulary responded to the Ely house in Santa Barbara County to discover Valery Lundeen Ely, a former Miss Florida, dead of multiple stab wounds. One of the three Ely children, Cameron, 30, was shot to death by four deputies at the scene. Ely himself was taken to the hospital but was apparently uninjured.

It was not immediately clear if Cameron was a resident of the home or not.

Sad situation. I always thought Johnny Weissmuller was the best Tarzan actor. He was also one of the best competitive swimmers in the world.

Weissmuller was always my favorite too. The new guy, from a couple of years back, was very good too. A little more depth to the character.
