EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:
Eleanor and Malcolm Graham disappeared without a trace in August 1974. Their boat appeared in October in the possession of the appellants, Stearns and Walker, who claimed that the Grahams had drowned. Appellants were charged with theft and convicted, and Walker’s conviction was vacated and later dismissed on speedy trial grounds. See U. S. v. Walker, 575 F.2d 209 (9th Cir.1978); U. S. v. Stearns, 550 F.2d 1167 (9th Cir.1977).
In 1981, when Eleanor Graham’s skull and some bones surfaced with evidence of foul play, appellants were indicted for felony (robbery)…
