At about 12:45 PM an officer from the West Elmira Police came to the back door. He delivered a name and phone number from a woman in Alberta, Canada, who wanted Jane to call her. This was the same officer who’d brought us the message from Julia Bade two or three weeks ago. However, he knew about his fellow officer’s encounter here at the house with Fred Conyers last Saturday.
It turns out that the officer took Fred to the Rescue Mission, rather than the Salvation Army (they may be connected, for all we know). Fred stayed overnight, was let go, went to the local Holiday Inn, and was arrested for failure to pay for services. Meaning meals, I suppose. He was kept in jail overnight, then released. The officer I talked to today didn’t know what had happened to him after that. So as I wondered about the day it all happened, Fred was turned loose in town, and might have indeed turned up at our door. He didn’t though; so far, that is.
The police didn’t know how he arrived in town either, without money or even a coat. Chances are he’s left town by now. They don’t think he has a family. He did tell them he had an apartment in Denver, CO, but obviously no local agency was going to pay to transport him back home; we’d wondered about that, too.
