Chapter 4 of The Finders
The Finders Network Is Made Public - The Tallahassee Florida 1987 Incident and Investigation - Part 3 / Feb. 6, 1987
February 6, 1987
At 8:00 a.m., Tallahassee Police Department Investigators Brown and Rick Huffman met with Sergeant JoAnn Meter and Lieutenant Colonel Benton to discuss the Finders case and plan the investigation for an hour. Brown spent the morning making calls to gather more information about The Finders blue 1979 Dodge Sportsman Van. Brown spoke with J. Kilroy from the Chrysler Head Office in Detroit, Michigan. Kilroy mentioned that he believed the van was manufactured in Canada and shipped to Kirby Dodge in Arlington, Virginia. According to Kilroy, the van had been purchased by a company or organization called IBCC, located at 1701 N.W. Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C. It is believed that this is the van that The Finders purchased from member Michael Rios and his company, Community Computers.[1]
Investigator Brown listed some ordinary phone calls that were made. Brown recounted a conversation with Susan Jonis of Archer, Florida, who called the Tallahassee Police Department to provide a tip. Jonis mentioned that Douglas Ammerman worked as a farmhand for her neighbor, the Simmons family, on their watermelon farm while traveling through Florida around January 26-30, 1987. Jonis said she saw ten children with Ammerman as he walked up the street, and the children were living in the watermelon field. Jonis believed the children were not in school as she saw them in the middle of the day. Jonis also stated that she saw the children and Ammerman in a van (but she did not recall any details about the van) and that the children were “white and young.” Who were the other four children with The Finders six children?[2]
