Accident

Chapter six.

The Accident.

The street had not changed so much, but that, little by little, its influence had come over Romoran again.

And as the clock a street or two away had struck seven, he had stood, his hands folded on his stick, first curious, then expectant, and finally, as the sound had died away, oddly satisfied in his memory.

Tell him Tell him that Mr. Romoran's had an accident.

And he dashed away, leaving the man looking at the silver in his palm.

Oh.

Accident.

I don't know how I did that, but-

你忘記

In January 2010, in Bell itself, a frayed cable on a phosgene line at the DuPont plant sprayed a 58-year-old worker named Carl Fish, who died the next day.

It was one of three preventable accidents at the plant inside 33 hours.

Investigators cited old equipment, an ineffective mechanical integrity program, and incomplete investigations of earlier near-misses.

The Clean Seas site sits on DuPont Avenue.

So small talk or small article.

D'accident, de crime, de vol ou d'événement insolite.

What's d'événement

insolite? Insolite, c'est unusual events.

So go back and listen to Pilgrim Air if you haven't heard that.

So, um, that, that's a pretty crew intensive, systems intensive, off, off the beaten path kinda accidents.

But, uh, yeah, I went past the marker there for the dedication for those guys yesterday, um, or Saturday when we were coming back.

She's going to see.

How'd it happen?

Accident.

Automobile hit him.

But the world wasn’t ready to hear it.

He took the Yogzi with him into the dark leaving us only with a scrap of paper and the chilling image of a naked man perishing in a ditch waiting for a light that never came November 26th, 2010 Berrien C Michigan Its the day after Thanksgiving -a date usually reserved for leftovers football and the quiet hum of holiday winding down But in this small town on the Ohio border silence was different heavy Andrew Alexander Tanner Skelton aged nine seven five Were spending the Holiday weekend With their father John On Friday afternoon They we’re suppose to Be back with mother But Never Arrived when police entered home Found no signs struggle Broken glass Forensic Evidence Just An empty house Father Told Story so bizarre Contradictory That would launch most frustrating Haunting Missing person cases American History Three children vanished Into Thin cold air Of michigan winter Sixteen Years Later Silence From Empty Room Still deafening John skeleton didn’t claim Accident Didn’t claim intruder told Authorities Saved sons Claimed Handed andrew alexander tanner Over To Underground organization Secret Network Described Group People Dedicated Protecting Children Harm Insisted Boys Safe tucked Away Place Mother Could Never Find Them FBI State Police Began Pull Threads Fabric Quickly Disintegrated Investigators Tracked Johns Cell Phone Pings Didn’t lead secret compound Meeting Point Mysterious Organization Remote Wooded Area Near Maumee River Ohio Dumpster Behind Flower Shop Confronted Data Story Changed Organization Group Neighbors Then Woman Met Online Sanctuary Woods John Skeleton Convicted Unlawful Imprisonment Truth Remained Locked behind His silence Gave Police Map Mystery X Mark Spot What Makes Case Hallmark High Strangeness Missing Persons World Especially Isn’t Just Fathers Lies Absolute Terrifying Lack Physical Evidence Usually When Three Children Disappear Leave Trail Dropped Shoe Scent Bloodhound Witness Store Gas Station Case Skeleton Brothers Trail Ended Threshold Fathers Door 2017 Seven Years After Vanished Glimmer Hope Appeared Blue Plastic Bin Found Shed Missoula Montana Containing Human Remains Moment World Held Breath DNA Testing Proved Weren’t Skeleton Boys Cruel Reminder Reality Case Boys Haven’t Been Moved Feels Though Erased So where are the Skelton brothers? There's some theories here that abound.

One, the ultimate concealment.

The most tragic and likely theory is that the underground organization was a myth created to cover a horrific crime.

Now Sulfuric acid is incredibly destructive yes! But does not act like the acid in a sci fi movie.

It does not simply erase a human being in a matter of hours If a 10 year Old Boy had been dissolved in that wreckage there would have been substantial undeniable forensic evidence left behind.

Now Acid of that type and concentration would leave behind a sludgy organic residue More importantly it would not have dissolved the boys bones or teeth In the short time frame Before Emergency Services Arrived Forensic teams painstakingly sifted Through the soil ,the Asphalt and the acid pools .They Found nothing Not a single bone fragment !Not a Single tooth!! Not a scrap of clothing belonging to a child From purely scientific and physical standpoint One Pedro Martinez Gomez Was NOT IN THAT TRUCK WHEN THE ACID SPILLED He Had Simply Evaporated Into the Mountain Mist So if the acid didn't dissolve him Then where did he go?? now this Is WHERE THE STORY SHIFTS FROM A Tragic Accident INTO SOMETHING DEEPLY SINISTER Because the trucks tachometer (THE DEVICE THAT RECORDS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLES SPEED STOPS AND DRIVING PATTERNS) TOLD A Story that MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE for the final leg of the Journey As the Truck WAS NAVIGATING THE PERILOUS INCLINE AND DESCENT OF THE MOUNTAIN THE Tachometer RECORDED A SERIES OF BIZARRE ERRATIC Stops In a span wherA heavy truck Carrying a dangerous liquid load SHOULD NEVER STOP DUE TO THE DANGER OF Shifting weight ON A steep GRADE Andres HAD BROUGHT THE MASSIVE RIG To complete Halt NEARLY A DOZEN TIMES SO WHY WOULD AN EXPERIENCED Driver Repeatedly stop a tanker full of acid On a Dangerous Mountain PASS??? Was HE HAVING mechanical trouble ?If so why Didn't he just pull Over ENTIRELY ???Now witnesses who WERE ON THE MOUNTAIN ROAD THAT DAY Came forward With another strange detail Several drivers reported seeing a White Nissan Van Driving dangerously close to the Tanker Just BEFORE THE CRASH Even more Chilling!!!a Few Witnesses Claimed THEY SAW A MAN AND A WOMAN IN WHITE LAB COATS STEP OUT OF A SIMILAR VAN Near the Wreckage Immediately After the Crash !!!Before Emergency SERVICES ARRIVED These figures allegedly Approached the Twisted Cab Peered inside And THEN drove hurriedly Away Could they Have pulled the BOY from the wreckage ?? IF THEY Were good Samaritans Why DIDN'T they take Him to a hospital Or contact the Police ????And IF HE WAS TAKEN Before the crash During ONE of those bizarre erratic stops on the mountain Then WHY????? Theories Began to swirl Some darker than Others Some investigators suspected that Andres Had inadvertently gotten mixed up WITH drug smugglers Now iN THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES Commercial trucking routes were heavily utilized BY cartels To move narcotics across Europe Rumors circulated that the tanker was carrying a hidden compartment of illicit substances And that the white van had Been tailing them Did the Smugglers force the truck to stop????Did they kidnap Little Juan Pedro AS COLLATERAL to ensure Andres delivered the payload Only For Andrés to panic and crash the truck Iin a desperate bid to chase Them DOWN Extensive search of the wreckage revealed no substances Though the acid could HAVE EASILY DESTROYED ANY EVIDENCE OF NARCOTICS Other theories suggest a simpler Yet equally tragic fate Did the boy survive the crash Wander Outta the CAB IN A STATE OF deep shock and trauma And then get Lost in the dense unforgiving wilderness OF the somO sierra pass Massive Search parties Tracking Dogs AND Helicopters SCOURED THE Mountainside FOR weeks They FOUND absolutely No trace of HIM A Ten Year OLD BOY Wearing bright red Clothing DOES NOT Simply vanish into the air Without Leaving a Footprint A Torn Piece of Fabric OR A scent trail Interpol became involved Posters of juan pedro's LITTLE face were clustered Across Spain AND Throughout Europe OVER THE YEARS There HAVE BEEN hundreds OF alleged sightings A Boy MATCHING HIS DESCRIPTION AT A gas station A TEEnager in A distant City WHO LOOKED JUST LIKE AGE PROGRESSED PHOTOS OF But every lead, every desperate hope has evaporated like water on hot asphalt.

The case of the acid truck boy remains one of the most baffling missing persons cases on the books.
