Footprint found in Beck Spur area
Account
The mother awoke overnight to a strong animal-like odor and sustained movement sounds in weeds outside her trailer window and retrieved a gun. The odor lingered in the trailer for over an hour. The next morning her daughter visited, heard the account, and found a large flat human-like footprint in mud outside the window, which she measured and photographed, plus reddish hair strands on a nearby tree.
