The house was burned to the ground. I think they attributed it to Henry as he was seen eating at a diner on Washington Street that night where she worked. But some say it was Otis.<BR/>*shudder*<BR/>To this day no one ever rebuilt anything on that lot.

Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Mob, it's just gotten stranger. My main suspect is named "Otis"<BR/><BR/>CP, holy shit! I just saw that! Try just typing "sheephead fish" and you'll find a nice wikipedia entry.
