Confidence man robs farmer in card game scam near Rockport
A farmer, Davie, is swindled by a pair of con men posing as buyers and a banker. They lure him into a high stake card monte with a stranger, win 10 000 dollars, then split the loot. One man named Kelsay claims share and delays, leading to a bank transfer attempt and a stealthy escape toward Port Goldon. Police pursue but the suspect vanishes, with a rig linked to a Lebanon postmark later reported in Easton Junction.
