Account
The witness was fly fishing alone in a river pool in the morning when a dog on the far bank began barking. A tall dark-haired biped stood up from the brush, was observed walking through the thicket, then left for the woods. The witness reported the sighting, returned to find police blocking the road, and later saw a large search with vehicles and helicopters but never received follow-up.
