Note
Found in the shed behind Demmy Demerest's home. The netting was balled in brown paper with no marking. Two tags were tucked in the bundle but were not attached to the netting. Melt test proves that the netting is of a synthetic fiber. The entire ball of netting is packed in the Shanty box in the SDHC storage unit on the Blue Star Highway by Sally Winthers in June 2021.Create Date
