Unless Jane knew her assailant, as she certainly knew gramly and the original argument took place somewhere else, say at a conference, a anthropology get together, a cocktail party, in a class room. if this guy has murdered multiple times and is not in prison, he must have some sort of control...

Sorry Pink, it was post #657 from rhino-esq and not macoldcase. The physical aggressiveness of "mad mike" as he was known by his students is something many of us have experienced first-hand. The trigger for his violent inappropriate agitation again seems to be when his opinions are called into...

Per Macoldcase's extremely useful link... "about an hour after the find, as i said before, gramly was escorted to the site after being notified and flew out of the vehicle in a complete psychotic rampage, that of a lunatic, making a complete fool of himself and shell-shocking the entire crew...

Chilling and sad... "Earlier a sparrow pointed and called to me that everything was okay.."

Exactly Ausgirl, things don't add up here with Anne either. She was experienced, she knew the terrain, there were no polar bears sighted by rescue pilots, etc. By then RMG, an ex-marine, was about 30 yrs old at the time. How is it that he even allowed an 18 year old to wander off alone in...

I am contacting the Smithsonian, and will try to buy that article if need be. If you have the name of the person who headed the project please let me know, in private if you prefer, so I can search along those lines as well.

Beyond strange...twilight zone strange! Ok, since being forced out of NY by the state and the Seneca Nation, he has actively sold artifacts and his research books as a rogue outsider to the discipline of archaeology. The fact that he was there at this guys house, a guy who had a massive amount...

Yes, that is what I am focusing on now! If you google the "landmark settlement" article about him being sued by the Seneca Nation and the State of NY for violating the NAGPRA law of 1990, you are only getting the tip of the iceberg so to speak. He had been doing many macabre things with...

Can anyone find the list of archaeologists who accompanied Anne Abraham on the August 1976 Smithsonian expedition to Labrador? There seems to be even less available information regarding her disappearance than that of Jane Britton's case. Looking for commonalities. Maybe someone at Harvard at...

I re-read RMG's piece in the "Peabody Man", noting the following. He positions himself on the 5th floor of the Putnam archaeological lab across from Steve Williams office, Williams being the chair of the anthropology department. He notes the presence of Barbara Westman, close by on the same...

YES!!! Got it, thanks so much Pink Panther!!! P. 81 http://rla.unc.edu/archives/LMSfiles/LMS%20Peabody%20Man.pdf So he was there in the department enrolled, at least according to his own words, and if you read his article he seems quite familiar with the place. That is the biggest question...

Yes, something is odd there about that.

To sum this up as I see it: we have two young female archaeologists dead, and RMG seems to have been at Harvard at the time and definitely was the last to see Ann Abraham alive in Labrador. He has been and still is a loose canon, he has published articles and expressed a fascination with...

Donamena thanks for sharing that! It must have been jarring to say the least…especially with motherhood looming for you! I think you are absolutely right about the generalized paleo knowledge most students, grad and undergrad alike, should have known, especially at a school like Harvard...

Thanks all for the welcome! Mad Mike, as he was known to his students when he taught as an adjunct at Stony Brook, often flew off the handle, verbally attacking colleagues who disagreed with his interpretations, causing at least one to contact me worrying about safety. While I am only...
