Highland Police Officer Recalls Loch Ness Tooth Complaint
A Police officer stationed in Inverness, Scotland, has contacted Nessie investigator William McDonald with knowledge about a 4-inch barbed tooth, found in a mutilated deer carcass at Loch Ness back in March by two American college students.
Inverness, Scotland (PRWEB) June 29, 2005 -- A Police officer stationed in
Inverness, Scotland, has contacted Nessie investigator William McDonald with
knowledge about a 4-inch barbed tooth, found in a mutilated deer carcass at Loch
Ness back in March by two American college students. The officer, who refused to
be identified, stated that he was present in mid-March when the two students
entered police headquarters on Perth Road in the early morning hours.
“I
remember them because they had all their luggage with them. One was stocky, the
other thin, his head cleanly shaven. They insisted on seeing the water bailiff,
then got into an argument about an incident that happened the prior afternoon on
Loch Ness. I had no idea at the time what they were after, but figured it out
after speaking with a few other officers.”
The officer said he’s looked
into the matter on his own time and is convinced the tooth was real and was, in
fact, confiscated, but not by a water bailiff. “Could have been one of the PWLOs
(Police Wildlife Liaison Officers). These are officers that police the area for
wildlife crimes. I plan on speaking with our coordinator about the situation,
it’d surely be nice to collect that reward money.”
William McDonald was
hired in late March by the two American students upon returning from their trip.
After reviewing original photos taken at the site, he conferred with several
marine biologists, paleontologists, and board members of a few prestigious
museums, raising $100,000 in reward money for information leading to the return
of the tooth. “This is a major lead, “ said McDonald. “I expect this case to
break soon.”
Mr. McDonald can be reached by phone at 480-330-7553 or by
