Grissom was a nice guy, KU students recall
By Lisa Moss Kansan staff writer
When Katherine Arenal met Richard Grissom Jr., she thought he was a nice guy.
Arenal, El Paso, Texas junior, met Grissom at Pizzaz, a bar at Ninth and Mississippi streets, near the beginning of his name was Ricky Ch, Arenal said.
"We started hanging out," Arenal said. "We played tennis and racquetball."
Five months later, on Aug. 16.
Grissom was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Christine Rusch, 22, and Theresa J. Brown, 22, both of Lenaex; and Joan M. Butler, 24, a 1987 University of Kansas graduate from Overland Park. No bodies have been found.
Butler was reported missing June in said Maj. John Round of the Overseas Air Transport Command.
"T.
The week Joan was missing, Ricky (Grissom) came over in her car. We drove around in it.'
Lt. David Burger of the Lenexa Police Department said Rusch and Brown, who were roommates, were reported missing June 27. They were assumed missing with foul play suspected on June 26, he said.
El Paso, Texas, junior
A reward of $18,000 is being offered for information about the three women, said Jim Graham, managing director of the Kansas City Crime Commission.
Grissom also is a suspect in the
death of Terri Maness, 25, of Wichita,
Round said.
Grissom faces numerous other charges including one count of aggravated, kidnapping, four counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of aggravated burglary. Bond has
been set at $1 million. Round said.
In 1977, a juvenile court judge ruled that Grissom strangled 72-year-old Hazel Meeker of Lansing with a hair net and a rope and bludgeoned her with an iron railroad spike, said Capt. Ellen Hanson of the Lenexa police.
"The worst thing I ever would have said about him is that I thought he was boring," Canolin Masston, 24, wrote in a letter. "I just just seemed like your average guy."
Masinton, Arenal's friend, also met Grissom at Pizazz.
"We noticed him because we had never seem him before," Masinton said. "He had presence about him. He was an incredibly good dancer and he was very good looking."
She said Grissom liked being in Lawrence because the people were friendly.
"When I first met Ricky (Grissom) I thought he was cute," Lyn Nye, Highland Park, Ill., senior, said. "I remember hearing on the news that Joan Butler was missing, but I never
