Account
With a group of teenagers having a hot dog roast on a sandspit off Sunshine Grove Road, with tape deck in car playing loudly, sister of Richard Werner walked towards the car and saw a tall, hairy manlike creature. When she moved it moved, when she stood still it stood still. She screamed and it ran off. An animal control officer checked but it was too sandy for prints to show. Huge shoulders and waist.
