CRANSTON, David

Newspaper man from Chicago. He moved with his family to Allamakee, IA in 1992. They encountered resistance from locals when he began to write stories in the newspaper dealing with cattle maulings by a number of large animals. Investigating the story led to the discovery of what he claims to be a lycanthropic cult which engaged in the sacrifice of human children. He and his family have moved to another, undisclosed community outside of Iowa. Family members include his wife Gwynne and daughter Emily Sue. (vol.3 #6:9-10)
