Last summer, Chester the Molester, our resident snapping turtle, was fingered in the untimely disappearance of a charming school of goldfish, a dozen lovely specimens, all sadly missing, unseen, despite weeks of diligent searches. Circumstantial evidence linked the missing goldfish to the prime suspect, a known carnivore, with an ugly look and nasty reputation. Accused of mass murder, Chester successfully dodged the authorities, cleverly avoiding capture, despite their best efforts to net him.
Today, in a stunning turn of events, two dozen goldfish have miraculously emerged from the deep -- and all charges against Chester have been dropped. Turns out they weren't dead after all.
The prodigal goldfish have been counted and photographed, along with other countless bait fish that look to be crappies, as well as a particularly large goldfish that looked quite motherly and could be responsible for the expanding population.
