I hate to give bad info here. Don't know what's true or not. One example is attempted kidnapping when suspect or more than one tried to shove a woman in trunk. Several other pieces of info not confirmed.

wow, hadn't heard that. I hope that is Not true. I guess there's a big ongoing search in the woods in Grayton from posts on the Visioning page.

. I just finished all the Hunger Games books...makes me want to strap on a bow and go hunting like Katniss Everdeen. lol!
