When I first read this article, I thought it said something nonsensical as in: an army imposter who already knew a real army officer was dead in the river, took the officer's briefcase and laptop, looked at them, then turned them over to city hall, only to be denied access to the same, and then left.
Is this a Mothman Prophecy story or what?
This does sound like Mothman. We need Art Bell on the case fast!
