Account
Trooper Mike Hodge and Deputy Wayne Atkinson got out of their cars to check toppled garbage cans on Bramlett Road near Scape Ore Swamp at Browntown (not on road map) south of Bishopville. They went down the dirt road, came back minutes later, got out again to check a broken tree limb by the cans, 9 feet off the ground, and found 3-toed footprints stepping in their tire tracks. They followed them about 300 yards on the road until they went into brambles.
