Hellier 2.2 "And the Dead"

                                               
Re the obit from ep 2.1, nothing was posted.  Finding out that Indrid was dead was a big blow. But Connor suggested they could speak with Taunia as she's a little lady and only three and a half hours away by car in Parkersburg.  She relays her father's experience and her mother didn't let the children hear.  They were in a ship, Indrid was chasing 'humanoids' and the ship crashed.  The two visitors to see her were Indrid's sons, Connor and Connard [how I spelled it] (that speaks of being 'conned' which crossed my mind just now) described as normal looking.  She thought they're all here re Mothman etc since the Appalachian Mountains provide a convenient hiding place. The best way to contact the Cold family was through her, so they leave a note.  Any results?

Karl says that it's all about looking at information they couldn't know of and not seeing whether Taunia's details are right or not true, that is irrelevant.  Derenberger says Indrid was just visited by him as they just wanted to meet their government. Whereas Terry Wriste is some sort of a general.  Greenfield's book was about the cipher so could figure it out, which Karl worked out and tried to crack it.  They found the address in Ashland, Kentucky.  Boy one hell of working out in that cipher! Upon reaching Ashland they're told that mental health is a big problem.  The town also has burial mounds and Charles Manson lived there as a child for a time.  That gives credibility to the mental health element in some ways.  How much of an influence did this town have on him at such a raw age.  It was meant to be the age of innocence, the eyes of a child and all that. The library was the only place open.

The Wagon Wheel restaurant was only there in 1978 but in 1979 it's gone and covered by a parking lot (move over Richard III!)  Which was close to their timeline of events located at 123 17th Street. As the restaurant existed they thought Terry Wriste is real and he exists and he was actually there.  Karl couldn't find any record of a cemetery near a church.  The title referring to the burial mounds and not necessarily a cemetery.

They also find 'Parsons' on the ground, the name of the police chief in Point Pleasant and also mentioned in Derenger's book.  Tyler felt they were walking "in the footsteps of Terry Wriste" and where that would take them now who knows.  This episode was following the trail they found and reminded me of following a breadcrumb trail that someone has left for them purposely.  That someone possibly being Terry if indeed he is real.  Then his name in anagram has 'twisterer' in it too, so were/are they being led round in circles being fed ample snippets of clues.  Or is something major on the horizon.  Onwards to ep 3!
