The anonymous, handwritten note delivered to the Olean Police Department on the 34th anniversary of Josephine Cottone Despard’s disappearance left investigators believing the author knew more about the missing persons cold case.
While they still haven’t made contact with the writer nearly two months later
The tips haven’t only come to the authorities, as the Olean Times Herald has for the last week received correspondence from an anonymous emailer who claims to know the general location of where Despard’s remains are allegedly buried.
The first email came to a Times Herald reporter on March 26 containing what appeared to be a short poem pointing to the general location of where Despard could be buried.
The emailer claimed to have spoken with the original investigators, including former Olean Police Lt. James Tambash, 30 years ago.
The address of the emailer did not appear to identify the sender in any way, after consulting with Cody Duncan, a network administrator at an Ohio-based security company. Duncan said based of his analysis, he believes the person who contacted the Times Herald either sent the emails from Southern California, or the person used something to hide their system’s IP address such as a virtual private network (VPN)
