Youtube has a good very recent update from ojai regarding what happens with jackie's remains post necropsy, well worth hunting it up...

I too remember the helms bakery truck growing up in whittier...

The Helms truck was the best. My favorite were the crumb cake donuts. The pound cake was very tasty. They always came right after the milkman. Then in the afternoon the ice cream man.

I just read a whole story about Helms bakery and this beautiful tan and blue vans with those big wooden pull out drawers. Best treat ever when he’d come down our street. Maple bars for me and Mom would always get us a pie.

Yes, Marshall. In the early-ish 70s there was a Helms Bakery van (kind of tan colored) that would blow a weird whistle sound as it cruised down our street. As BBNona recounted, when they opened the vehicle's doors, the aroma was incredible! I would beg my mom for a raspberry jelly-filled ppwdered sugar dusted donut or sometimes a glazed.

Yes Marshall!! I fondly remembered the Helms Man You would put a star in your window and they would stop in front of your house. I remember how wonderful the drawers would smell as they pulled out the drawers. Some had bread, some had donuts and I think the bottom jar had different candies. It was a real treat.
