News story aired on THE NATIONAL, on CBC Television (Canada) Sept. 1, 2006. Host: Tom Murphy.
I am interviewed in the story and was consulted for its creation, as I am one of 2 research directors on this project along with Caroline-Isabelle Caron, Queen's University prof. spearheaded by Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History & funded mainly by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
Explore 143-year old mystery of legless, 'mute' castaway JEROME. Our research aims to shed new light and possibly solve the mystery! Who cut off his legs? Was he on a PIRATE ship? Was he a noble hiding a dark SECRET? Where was he from and why did he take his secrets to the grave?
To see me, LADYMISTY (Lise), on National TV, and if you LOVE a juicy mystery - clickety clickety!!
