Backing track purchased on http://www.karaoke-version.com . Original song performed Eric Clapton.
An entourage returns to the site spoken of in Chapter 17, determined to unearth the truth.
It amazes me sometimes how certain events demand to be revisited. This one one of them. And the sense of justice felt by everyone involved made making this chapter worth it. I went in search of a song basically mourning the dead, and this one, written by Eric Clapton about his son, stood out.
Now, while it seems amazing how they were ready for everything the Sheriff and the Mayor of Clearbrook dished out, it isn't so amazing. The locals were not expecting anyone to come snooping, especially nearly a century later.
However, Dr. Maxwell did, and he knew what those mounds meant, despite the local Mayor's insistence that they were Native Burial Mounds. Dr. Maxwell could not leave well enough alone, and tried to figure out what he could do. As a professor of biology and genetics at Marshall, he could not do anything directly. So, he called the University of Minnesota, and their archeology department, presented the problem, and as soon as he mentioned they said they were Native mounds, the head of Deparment of Archeology knew what they could do, since they had done similar work with actual Native mounds. Knowing they were not really Native would make it easy, since the local tribe would have no qualms about issuing a permit. This would placate the Sheriff, they knew.
But they also knew the locals would still stonewall, as they did NOT want the truth to come out. However, Dr. Maxwell had gathered enough evidence to show the likelihood of what happened, but they did not know how to go about using the information.
So, they brought in the Mayor of New Haven, who was MORE than happy to help out He got the ball rolling on a forensic excavation if it came to that.
And the Mayor of New Haven knew EXACTLY how the Mayor of Clearbrook would react. He has dealt with bureaucrats a lot.
So, either he would let them continue to excavate and keep it low brow, or they can resist and get revealed just how much they were complicit in the atrocity.

Here's the story:
Back in 1932, the local mayor was pretty lecherous, and decided having dalliances with some of the color bears was fine. They would never be discovered, because different species can't have cubs, right? The dalliances were almost rapes. But who was going to believe them if they said anything?
In 1933 two of the females *did* have cubs...that looked suspiciously like the mayor. They then spoke up and said that they were raped by the mayor.
The mayor, to save face, charged them with witchcraft and sorcery, because everyone KNOWS how good and righteous he was, and how it was impossible for separate species to have cubs.
He whipped the town into a frenzy (because he really was that popular) and the focus of their ire was on the entire color bear population. They annihilated them, and quickly buried them in mounds. To cover up their crime, it was agreed that they would tell anyone who asked that they were ancient native burial mounds. No records were kept of the atrocity in city hall, and because they were so isolated, no one outside the town gave it any notice.
It was not until Dr. Maxwell came, inquiring about the community of color bears that it was noticed that the community was no longer there.
This was 90 years later. Those responsible were long dead. Nobody was actively covering it up, until Dr. Maxwell came by, and was told they were native burial mounds, although the new mayor was the grandson of the one who was responsible.
So, who do you prosecute? Those guilty were long dead.
