Well my distrust came about because:
- they didn't seem to care or be surprised about the unusual concrete formation in the woods (from both the detective and his captain)
- They said they called the asylum in Wisc. when they found the telegram and had no other prior knowledge but the wording on the telegram makes it unclear whether they were actually called by the asylum already... it's a detail that needs to be clarified, probably by calling the asylum ourselves
- General feeling from my discussion with the China man (I forget his name now!) and the reading of the newspaper reports
