I now find it rather hard to believe you are open to more than one point of view, and that would cloud anyone's judgement in an investigation. (Isn't that what you've been saying all along about investiagtors of the day??? applies to you too!)<BR/>As a reader I feel you do not value my time or my feedback. You have thrown insults clearly intended for someone else. I simply would like to read new information, something you stated would be published here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366972.post-8448099096420745162007-09-10T06:54:00.000-07:002007-09-10T06:54:00.000-07:00Just a quick note to anonymous. . .Isn't free spee...Just a quick note to anonymous. . .Isn't free speech exciting? <BR/><BR/>I assume that you are responding to my last comment where I suggested that you take some time away from life in the fast lane and re-read the complete story.<BR/><BR/>I suggested that if you were still having comprehension problems that perhaps you would contact me again. It would appear that comprehension problem has reared it's ugly head again.<BR/><BR/>You see, being a man of very few words such as myself, I shall be as brief as possible in my reply to your question as to whether there is a conclusion or not.<BR/><BR/>Your question is quite timely actually. I had actually attempted a new segment last evening, however, technology prevented the complete text from posting, so alas, I am stuck for one more day.<BR/><BR/>But you know what? Someone once said, "there is a silver lining in every cloud." This cloud is no different. There is a reason for everything. I had no sooner made the decision to abort the posting for a day and I received a courier envelope.<BR/><BR/>This envelope contained a personal letter actually written in 1972 to a dead man. The dead man was Wilbert Coffin. I shall be publishing exerpts from that letter, and hope to be able to edit and include some of the text from the letter in this posting.<BR/><BR/>The person who wrote the letter was one of the major players early on in the Wilbert Coffin story.<BR/><BR/>So you see, again I stress, review the story so that it is fresh in your mind, then the conclusion will be so very much more meaningful for you. <BR/><BR/>I know it is difficult sometimes to concentrate on a fifty plus year old murder case when you are surrounded by all that beautiful Autumn weather out there in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.<BR/><BR/>Thank you once again for your continued support of the "Stoddard Online" web site.<BR/><BR/>Lew Stoddard<BR/>Host of "Stoddard Online"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366972.post-7202429035443502972007-09-10T05:16:00.000-07:002007-09-10T05:16:00.000-07:00Rest assured that Lew is doing his best to publish...Rest assured that Lew is doing his best to publish the conclusions to this historical miscarriage of justice.

I explained that in most cases that is because some folks do not read, they skim.<BR/><BR/>Today I notice Anonymous is asking many questions in his/her comment. Each and everything that you ask, plus commentary on things that you suggest have been covered in previous postings to this story.<BR/><BR/>In order that I might adequately address all your concerns, I would have to re-write the complete story. Guess what? I have no intention of doing that!<BR/><BR/>I will suggest to you however, that you pick a nice quiet spot, away from the rat race of life, and re-read the story starting at the beginning, except this time, absorb what you are reading and do not skim.<BR/><BR/>Give it an honest try, and then if you are having difficulty with a particular part, give me another call.<BR/><BR/>Lew Stoddard<BR/>Host Of "Stoddard Online"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366972.post-80970499943550301012007-09-06T10:06:00.000-07:002007-09-06T10:06:00.000-07:00I am looking at the woods gate permits for enterin...I am looking at the woods gate permits for entering the woods. The Americans had a ten day stay. How did anyone know if people who had a permit for a certain number of days, if they had stayed longer…was there a way to know if anyone left the woods after their permit had expired…..because the Americans had a permit for 10 days and were there for over 30, and no one at the woods gate noticed.. no one in the town noticed, no one traveling the woods around the areas of the camps noticed……so what this is saying is that in 30 days there was not a soul went around the area of camp 21, 24,or camp 26… why was this…the woods permit I see are for the 6,06,1953 to the 9, 06, 1953…. on the woods permits for the whole month of June would it show who entered the woods after the American hunters did….….through any of the woods gates in Gaspe…. Mr. Annett in his statement told that the gate stayed open between midnight and 5 am on June 10, 1953…this could mean the woods gate was unattended and anyone could have gone in or out without being seen….…I believe it was left open for a reason…...also the forest warden, Jerry Patterson, did he not make rounds in the forest for 30 days… it seems no one could have been around camp 21,24 or camp 26, for over 30 days, or they would have came upon the remains of the American hunters…also when the call came that the American hunters had not returned home, it seems that they found the abandon vehicle very quickly…on the first day of the search…… this I am finding very very strange…..with everyone passing through the woods that this vehicle was not noticed as sitting there for 30 days, abandon…….this woods and the camp areas were very well traveled in 1953 in June, it is hard to believe that not one person, or persons stumbled upon the bodies of the hunters…seeing how after they were reported missing, it took only five days for the local searchers to find the remains…...<BR/>I also noticed in post of 29 sept, 2006 a piece where the provincial police was asking (verify on all cars that entered the forest since the beginning of the searches… (And try also to find the car that lost the metal circle of a headlight) <BR/>Then on your post of October 21, 2006 of the trial in Perce, I noticed the statement of Jack Eagle, apparently his truck had a front end accident,on one side... he explained it away as happening in 1952…..he said he found pieces of left side headlight… (Could this vehicle have been missing the metal circle of a headlight, the one the police were asking about?)<BR/>I have to say, this was a messed up investigation that took place in 1953……Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366972.post-50151136241922471202007-09-05T12:52:00.000-07:002007-09-05T12:52:00.000-07:00I agree completely with Ms. McBrine.

I shall address them collectively as I do know they are authored by the same person.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, you are quite right, I have bounced back and forth at times. You used the autopsy reports as an example. I would suggest to you that you review each time what I have written. You will discover, there is something in each that sets it apart from the previous writing. This is usually in the form of supporting documentation.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, all information does not appear at my door at the same time, making it necessary to update.<BR/><BR/>Had you taken the time to read the last posting, you would have seen as well the notation that the three individuals that I have named will be re-entering the story very very soon. You have to learn to read and absorb. You cannot skim. This is one of the reasons why it is necessary to sometimes repeat. Many folks get into a rush, and in doing so, lose the complete focus of a story.<BR/><BR/>To repeat myself one more time, I am not planning a book, nor am I writing for a newspaper publication. Therefore, I am not bound by a set guidlines as laid out by an editor. My mandate is and always has been since commencing this project to simply investigate and report my findings, no matter where the path may lead. Perhaps if others would have taken that stand over the past half century, this case could have been put to rest years ago.<BR/><BR/>I am not interested in repeating all the garbage that has been so prevalent over the years in this case. I am however, interested in providing to my readers, a fair unbiased report based on factual evidence. If that means repeating here and there, then so be it, because down deep Sir, I know that you wouldn't want it any other way.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for reading my site Sir and taking a few moments to comment. I will close with my own mission statement, " Your opinion may not parallel mine, however, I will argue until the end of time for your right to express it."<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/><BR/>Lew StoddardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20366972.post-83629153018566673592007-09-01T09:11:00.000-07:002007-09-01T09:11:00.000-07:00I agree with anonymous.Lew: You have done a wonder...I agree with anonymous.<BR/>Lew: You have done a wonderful job with this topic but it is beginning to look like you either don't have a conclusion or, for some reason, you are consciously just dragging it out.

You did it with a case from 1953.<BR/>I am trying to do the same thing on a case that is from 1959. The murder of Lynne Harper. Now that Steven Truscott's innocence is a fact, it is certainly time for all of us to attempt to identify Lynne's killer.<BR/>We need help from sharp people like yourself, Lew.<BR/><BR/>My sincere thanks goes out to you and Lani for doing such a great job on the Coffin case.<BR/>I also want to once more state the respect I have for Wilbert's sister Marie and his son Jim.
