Account

The witness and two friends snuck into a fenced stormwater tunnel project at night and then drove toward a dead-end road where a parked car sat. They saw a tall black figure crouched behind the car, illuminated it, watched it stand and then disappear near a fence. They searched the open field with a spotlight, found nothing, and later told the witness's father.
