The Mystery Sojourner *Crosscut Ridge Runners* After discovery of Clinton Brighton's U.S. Marine dog tag on a dead enemy combatant at the conclusion of the Battle of the Midnight Freight in Colorado many years after Clinton's disappearance while on a hike in the Desolation Wilderness with a patrol of Boy Scout Troop 49, ContraForce Zulu West Deputy Station Chief Echo was assigned to lead the investigation into the reopened case which was initially started before the creation of ContraForce Zulu. How did the dog tag, assumed to be on Brighton's body under tons of granite that swept over the trail near the Lakes Velma, many years later come to be on the body of a terrorist in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado? A natural conclusion might be that Brighton's body isn't under all that granite, and never was. Which opens up another can of worms. If Brighton isn't buried in the avalanche field, what about the other two adult leaders and the Boy Scouts of the Lost Patrol? Were they also not buried by that same avalanche? Further, where are the three men and the Boy Scouts if they aren't entombed under the avalanche debris?
