I told Dr. Baden out in the hallway that I could tell when the children had
been playing out in the woods, because they put turtles they found into the pool.
The smaller ones would likely have been found by my son Chris and his buddies.
They would be six to eight inches in diameter. The larger ones would be twelve
inches in diameter and larger. I would dump the turtles into the nearby drain.
ABSTRACT 183
Whenever I would see the turtles in my pool, I would ask the kids where
they got them, and they would tell me that they had been playing in the Robin
Hood area, and that’s where they had found them. (BMHR 1997-1998). I lived a
couple of blocks from Robin Hood Hills at that time.
Some of these were red eared sliders, and others were logger head or
alligator turtles. (BMHR 1998:13-17).
Chris Byers was my adopted son. Michael Moore lived right across the
street. Steve Branch lived over on the next street. (BMHR 1998).
