Excellent Gary
Thank you so much for the post!!
It does not surprise me in the least when you got no response from the
perpetrators of this story, about your findings.
Ultimately, the RCMP were a key source in the puzzle, and if the
Anjikuni story was not in their archives, then this surely lays the
tale to rest once and for all.
(Of course, we could say that if the story was true, then the RCMP
kept the story quiet in order to prevent mass panic amongst indigenous
alsakan populations, but then we'd be chasing our tails!!!!!!!!)
The lack or verifiable archive material also diminishes the story too.
I'd like to thank all those people who wrote to me personally about
this mystery, with their own takes!!!
Best wishes to seekers of the truth everywhere.
