Historic Cactus Case Advancing!

Friends, fans, fellow cacti victims,

I am overjoyed and almost beside myself with excitement! Our greatest lead in the history of the CCIB has generated a confirmed sighting and contact with the homeowners of the most promising Cactus case I can remember. My poor old Grandpa E. may finally be vindicated (if you follow the legend, you know he was so shocked by the sudden appearance of the Christmas Cactus that he was struck speechless for three weeks!).

Our letter, sent to the resident of the latest sighting after a lead from a local elementary school teacher, was answered just hours ago and we are assured that the residents are willing to cooperate with our investigation. The reason, we have discovered, that the hideous cactus was not present when I surveyed the property on Thursday is because the homeowner family moved the monstrosity to their back yard! To think I was merely 30 yards away from an actual Cactus manifestation and did not know it!

I am continuing communication with the homeowner at the moment, learning more and more about this event. I am hoping to arrange to conduct an investigation on the cactus in their back yard if they permit. I'll keep you updated!
