Thank you for the very kind words. I'm only happy to have helped. I feel that
there are enough well-authenticated mysteries out there that we can well do
without this kind of nonsense. Like I stated before, this must be just too
good of a story to pass up, but it was very easy to check out. All it took was
an email to the RCMP, and the Mounties (as we affectionately refer to them in
the USA) were very helpful. And yet this simple task does not seem to have been
done. At least outside this group.

As far as the arguement that the RCMP tried to avoid panic, I think that a good
counter-arguement would be the one that was hinted at in an earlier post, to
wit: that this type of news would travel very fast and be almost impossible to
suppress.

Anyway, thanks again for your response.

Best regards, Gary

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.
