    I’m guessing if you want a map you can find one online. The article says it was near a summer home.

      You’re making the claim, not me. It’s not my job to prove you’re not wrong, it’s yours. I know the article says it was near a summer home. I’m not sure why you think that’s relevant unless you think it was the only home in the area. In which case, show that.

        That’s what the article says. If you want more evidence then go find it.

          Yes. The article indeed does not say if anyone else lived nearby. Why are you assuming that means they don’t?
