Dear Vincent,

I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.- q0 K' T! C9 @. c$ U. L

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
