One of this group, Bob Farmer, climbed the tree looking for bird eggs. From the trunk he seen what he thought to be an animal skull. Retrieving it, he was horrified to find that it had been human. The boys panicked because they had trespassed, therefore they decided to not tell anyone. Afterwards, one of the boys felt guilty and informed his parents of the discovery and they called the police. In the trunk was an almost complete skeleton, along with a shoe, a gold ring and pieces of clothes. A hand was found buried near the shrub. Forensics showed that the skeleton was a female, aged 35-40. She was dead for 18 months. Taffeta within the mouth suggested that she was asphyxiated and put into the cavity of this tree although still warm. The police trawled through missing person reports and dental documents to get an outcome, but to no avail. She seemed to have appeared from nowhere, and has been missed by no one.

With "hate crime" laws, however, people are essentially given one penalty for the actions they engaged in, and an additional penalty for the politically incorrect thoughts that allegedly motivated those actions.

Americans have become thoroughly disgusted by the gross fraud committed by the likes of Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, Martha Stewart, and their ilk. These groups are the poster children of Wall Street fraud, but are really only representative of a much larger problem that involves almost all Wall Street brokerage firms, congresspeople, and large corporations in America. Years of pervasive fraud, whether subtle or obvious, has undermined the world’s confidence in the US stock market, causing untold billions of dollars in loss for common families and pensionholders. Some loss has directly resulted from fraud, but most loss is merely because the fraudulent cases have caused a general lack of trust in the marketplace, creating additional sellers and fewer incentivized buyers of corporate stock (causing massive financial loss for the sellers).
