I am traveling so have been trying to keep up with this thread on my phone.

And, it leads me to believe the sheriff and FBI know the identity of the unknown man.

Is the break-in at Greg's house more misinformation? It makes no sense that the sheriff would not have secured the house and/or taken the cell phone. The details themselves make no sense. We have a lot of break-ins. The usual story goes : the thieves enter during the day, stage their bounty by the back door (inside, not outside) and come back with a vehicle to get it under cover of darkness.
I am almost certain there are cell towers within a mile of Deer Lodge, thinking they are on the north side of I-90. If this thread is still active next week, I will check it out when I return.
I checked Peoplefinders for Greg and it looks like there is a Greg who lived in Rocklin, CA, Deer Lodge, MT and has a current? address in Roseville.
I am not in Deer Lodge, but close in Southwestern MT. I would like to know if Beverly and her son were dealing in antiques, if that is the reason for her trips to the post office.
