We very well might know each other! I lived on Lantern Lane, and my grandmother lives on Belle Chene.

I grew up off Burma, also. Bet we know each other! If they get to the ditch, they’re probably gone. Know a lot of people in that area, kids went to St. Dominics, great friends there. Hope everybody is safe and they catch him soon!

I grew up off Burma. Once he gets to the ditch between Belle Chene and Barcelona, he’ll be gone forever. One end goes all the way to Halls Mill Creek and the other end comes out in the woods off Japonica, with tons of places to hide along the way!
