The Cops Got Involved… But Did It Help?
The cops were immediately notified about the break-ins and were involved from the start, but they made very little progress. Copious reports were filed and police investigated each and every case. Nearly three decades went by with more and more break-ins but no face to the crime… Some people even grew up with the Hermit committing his crimes. It was all they knew! That’s why it was such a big deal when he was finally caught. Things only got crazier once he was able to tell his story.
