The Sad Truth
Years later, the police arrested Park Myers III and Jeffrey Peacock. These two individuals had killed two black bears and a black wolf around the same time Romeo disappeared. The worst part? Myers had lived in Juneau for five years and knew Romeo?!
As a local, he panicked when he realized the wolf was black. He feared he had shot Romeo. Peacock, who was from Lebanon, claimed to be the shooter so that Myers could escape the wrath of the residents who cherished Romeo so dearly.
