MY WIFE WE HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND GO

When the Thomas pulled thier
vehicle off to take a second look into
what they thought was a burning bush,
they found a man on fire.

LEAVE HIM BACK THERE WHERE IT WAS
CHARRING AND BURNING SO WE JUST PULLED
HIM OUT TO RIGHT HERE AND LEFT HIM,
UNTIL THE EMS AND THE POLICE COULD GET
HERE.

The couple used an old blanket
from their truck and put the burning
man out.


They say the man had severe burns
down his arms, and on his face.

:06 ROBERT THOMAS:HE WAS IN BAD SHAPE,
HE WAS IN REAL BAD SHAPE. .

As Katie and Robert described
their story, the unexpected happened.

Three women, searching for a
missing relative, feared the man the

were looking for.

:13 NAT SOUND:NOW I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE
THAT'S HIM.///IT SOUNDS LIKE HIM////THE

even stronger evidence that it was
their missing family member, Jessie
Whorley.
