Montauk Monster

The Montauk Monster was no fluke. Whatever it was, it had a predecessor, perhaps many, but at least one whose discovery in a Montauk fish trap was reported by The East Hampton Star exactly 100 years ago this month. “Great excitement has been caused by the finding, in a fish trap off Montauk, of what is declared to be a sea serpent measuring 22 feet in length, having a neck six feet long and a tail about eight feet. It is considered the greatest discovery of the kind ever made on the east end of Long Island, and seems to prove beyond a doubt that the sea serpent is not a myth, as everyone supposed, but a verity.”

Funny how “experts” come out of the woodwork when something is not easily explained. When the “monster” was discovered on the beach last year, some said it proved beyond a doubt that aliens were not a myth, as everyone supposed, but a verity. Others said it proved that Plum Island experimental abominations were not a myth, nor were the horrific results of the time-travel experiments performed deep under Camp Hero on homeless urchins plucked from the streets of New York City by agents of the Montauk Project.

A more mundane explanation has lately come from a group of young men who were vacationing on Shelter Island in June of last year when they came upon a dead raccoon. Allegedly, they put the carcass in a child’s swim duck, lit it on fire, and set it afloat in order to give the animal a proper Viking burial. According to their account, currents took the scorched Viking around Montauk Point and down the coast, where it washed up in front of the Surfside restaurant — ground zero.

“We have so much preparation to do Friday for our July 4th celebration in Lake Reba Park on Saturday that it is more practical for us to give city employees the day off on Monday,” said City Manager David Evans. “In addition to the parks and recreation and tourism departments, the police, fire and public works departments are heavily involved with putting on the Independence Day event,” he said.

“We’re expecting an ever larger crowd than usual this year because Exile, which got its start in Richmond, will provide the main entertainment,” Evans said. “Lots of people are excited about the event and have called City Hall and the tourism office requesting information.” The U.S. Postal Service, which normally is open for business on Saturdays, will observe the holiday tomorrow. Post offices will be closed Saturday and no mail will be delivered.

Scott Kimball

Scott Kimball is leading investigators to bodies. Partly mummified bones thought to be those of his uncle, Terry Kimball, were discovered Monday in a remote Rocky Mountain pass near Vail, Colorado. DNA tests are pending to confirm the victim's identity, and the cause of death is pending a forensic examination, authorities said. Kimball will also serve a 70-month federal sentence on firearms charges after the state sentence. The firearms charges led to Kimball's 18th conviction.

Terry Kimball is one of several suspected homicide victims associated with Scott Kimball since his jailing in 2008. He is serving a 48-year sentence in state prison in Fairplay, Colorado, on theft and habitual criminal convictions. Sources with knowledge of the cases said Kimball's December 2008 plea to theft and habitual criminal charges, and the 48-year sentence, was part of a deal that included revealing the locations of the bodies. Authorities wanted to give victims' families resolution. Without his cooperation, authorities doubt they have enough evidence to convict him.

Earlier this year, Kimball revealed where the remains thought to be his uncle's were, according to law enforcement sources close to the case. However, the search was delayed until snow had melted. Terry Kimball, 60 at the time, was last seen with Scott Kimball in September 2004, according to a 2007 federal search warrant affidavit. Scott Kimball told his wife that his uncle had won the lottery and left for Mexico with a stripper, the affidavit said, but FBI investigators think Kimball killed his uncle and dumped his body in Vail Pass, more than 100 miles from the home they shared in a Denver suburb.
