Thibodeau neighbor testimony ties August search to Heidi Allen case
Oswego County Court heard testimony from Sheriff Herbert Verdon about the 1400 to 1500 leads in the Heidi Allen disappearance. The August search on Schoolhouse Road in Patemeo yielded no results, and no one has located Allen. Witnesses Susan and William Cowen testified they saw Gary Thibodeau near a van at around 5:55 am on April 3, 1984, but could not ID Richard Thibodeau or confirm the van. The trial continues with prosecutors calling more witnesses and detailing the Palermo search findings.
