It was just after 6 a.m. when Joan Learned peaked out an upstairs window in her home on Barry Street and spotted a suspicious white vehicle.
“I saw a cargo van parked in my driveway,” Learned said. She says she watched the man inside the van for a few minutes.
“As I was watching, all of a sudden he got out of his car … went to the back of the cargo, opened it up, took out an ax, walked across my front yard here along the side and dropped the axe in my back yard,” she said.
Investigators found several things he left behind, including an axe and a machete. Learned says she cannot figure out why he chose her yard to do whatever it was he was doing.
