Follow-up investigation report:

I have talked with the reporter, one of the earlier witnesses, and am trying to get an introduction to V.M. to obtain permission to visit her cabin on Stranger Lake and obtain additional info.

Local people have seen the Polaroid pictures taken by R.B.

V.M. is telling her family far more than she would tell the press.

Both persons are solid citizens and respected in their communities and by their friends and families.
