Disappearance!

Update: The Cactus has mysteriously disappeared, or our intelligence is faulty. Ernie made it to Pearland, TX shortly after noon today and phoned me with questions about the sighting address (he left his lead sheets and reports at a Wings 'n More where he had taken his lunch break). After confirming the address, he did not see a cactus. A large dog kept him from making a thorough investigation of the yard, and we have decided to wait upon our letter to arrive at the residence in order that the victims might be pro-active in contacting us. We have found it is frequently best to allow the victim to make first contact, for numerous reasons.

Sadly, the cactus has either been moved by Cacti Noel operatives, picked up by the homeowner (very bad news, if true) or we have recevied a dead lead and will need to track down Mr. J. Alvarez to confirm the location. In the mean time, Ernie and will systematically patrol the Pearland area looking for leads. I will check out of our motel here in Tomball after this update and will re-locate to a Pearland motle to be better positioned.

As always, if you have any information leading to the discovery of the Christmas Cactus, or to report a sighting, please email us at legendofthechristmascactus@gmail.com.
