This
may be morbid for some people
but
Click
on the skull to see more details.
I
wrote a screenplay about these bones. Bert found them
on the Rhone. Of course it is a ghost story. My wish is
to have DNA taken from the bones and find the family in
England. The story ends with them being buried in the
family plot.
This
story needs to be filmed on Moskito Island. Bert found
these bones on the wreck of the Rhone and took them to
Moskito Island, where he was living at the time. If anyone
out there can help this happen please contact me ASAP.
