Chapter 4 of The Finders

The Finders Network Is Made Public - The Tallahassee Florida 1987 Incident and Investigation - Part 10 / Feb. 19-23, 1987

Tallahassee Democrat Reporter Jan Pudlow, reported in a February 19, 1987 article, that stated on February 18, 1987, after a two hour Leon County court hearing that Leon County Judge George Reynolds reduced Finders members Douglas Ammerman and Michael Holwell’s bonds from one hundred thousand dollars each to twenty thousand dollars each (meaning all they would need to do is secure two thousand each from a willing bondsman to be released.) Clarence Ammerman the father of Douglas Ammerman testified to the court that he believed his son would show up for his trial. Finders member James Frances Holwell testified that he believed his son James Holwell would also show up to trial. Neither father however posted any bond for their son’s release leaving the prosecutor to later comment after the hearing “not even family wants to gamble on these two.”[1]
