This is James Collier with the Minneapolis Star Tribune. It's been three months since the tragic fire that took the life of Mark Adler and left his family shattered. But the events leading up to that night are still a mystery. What really happened inside that house? Who or what was Mark Adler fighting against? Some call it madness. Others aren't so certain. Today, I am speaking with someone who saw Mark in the days before it fell apart, Miss Elaine Peters, the head librarian of the Westonko Public Library in Hennepin County.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I remember him well, yes. You don't forget people like that. He came in late. Maybe two, possibly three days before the fire. He looked I would say troubled. Not just tired, but haunted. You could see it in his eyes.
SPEAKER_01Did he say what he was researching?
SPEAKER_00Not outright. He implied it was a thing of a darker nature. Urban legends. Town myths. Things people don't talk about anymore. Things that good folks who go to church on Sundays don't align themselves with. He asked about missing children, missing people, but primarily missing children from the 1800s. Unself cases as well. I th I thought he was writing a book, but then I saw his hands. The dirt under his nails. Like he'd been digging. It was unsettling.
SPEAKER_01Dirt under his nails. Really? Are you certain?
SPEAKER_00Oh yes. Without a doubt. Dirt under his nails. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01There's been no mention of dirt or digging or anything remotely close to such a thing. No evidence of it either. That's curious. Did he mention anything else? Anything specific? Anything that stood out?
SPEAKER_00Oh, one thing he asked about? You know what? We shouldn't be talking about this nonsense. This is silly. These are not the core values of good Christian God-fearing soul.
SPEAKER_01Miss Peters. What did Mark Adler want to know about? The radish man. And what did you tell him?
SPEAKER_00Oh, I told him to stop asking questions. Some things are not meant to be found.
SPEAKER_01Elaine Peters wasn't the only one who claimed to have seen the changes in Mark Adler. Others in town noticed it too. His neighbors, the local police, the fire chief who saw something inside that burning house that should not have been there. In the coming weeks, I'll be speaking to all of them. And maybe, just maybe, we'll get closer to the truth.
