He was the attorney who represented Greenmount Cemetery in the exhumation trial. He said that all during the trial, there was a man who sat behind him. After the trial, the man stopped by Frank's office. He was a direct descendant of Petticord's and showed Frank the lock of hair. Frank gave me a name, but it turned out the name he gave me was of the reporter for the Washington Post who covered the trial. Currently, the search for the Petticord lock of hair has gone cold.
