Madison, Madison, Madison

Madison Man is no longer John Doe. If you read the article noting every occurrence of the word "Madison" and how each differs from the others you'll see why I find this nifty. (I think they'll eventually decide it was suicide.)

There's only one John Doe.

A more recent article from Madison's afternoon paper, The Capital Times.

An artists rendering of the missing man (not shown in this article) ended up being eerily close to the photo they showed in yesterday's morning paper [PDF of front page] .

I'm undecided about the cause of death, I just don't feel that I know enough.

And that madisonman site *is** spookyish.

Holy crap. I don't know what it is, but that second link is giving me the willies, too.

Funny, Faint of Butt. I thought the same thing--I'm in a production of RHPS (actually, just RHS) right now.

Cool, thejimp. I just caught a production of RHS here in Baltimore last week. Break a leg. (Boy, we're off-topic.)

I peed next to the one and only John Doe once. True story. Not as good as the one where my uncle peed with Grace Slick, but still...

Second the "spoooooooky" on the story, too.

I don't think you could get any more madison into the death of one man...

Ya gotta admit, even though the mulleted Matthews guy is a bit freaky, what these guys go through to bring peace to families is something else.

Suicide, really? Then who the hell cut his hands off?

Then who the hell cut his hands off?

It always helps to read the story:

It has later been determined that his hands were not "cut off" as rumored, but had been gnawed off by scavenger animals.
