  • November 22, 2010

By Carrie Cuinn

INNSMOUTH, MA – While Innsmouth Police continue the search for Kyle Bladel, missing since last week, townspeople have freely volunteered their time, and their opinions.

“Kyle was a very sweet boy and very polite, too. He never yelled or ran around my shop like other children do,” said Lisa Whaley-Hapsburg of the local Stop-N-Shop. “He waited for his mother to offer him a toy or candy, and when he found one he liked, they’d buy it. No …

I’ve been fishing in the harbor for the last twenty years, and I can assure you, Innsmouth Harbor and Devil’s Reef have plenty of fish. And ghost crabs, and clams, and shrimp, and other …
