[QUOTE="weston wills, post: 833794, member: 61602"] I was in the house the following day. If my memory serves me, Mr. Ralph had a visiting home health aid that came into the residence finding Mr. Ralph in bed, passed away clutching an old handgun. She removed the gun to put it in a dresser drawer to find an old grenade wired inside. She fled the house and called Millville PD. The Atlantic City bomb squad was called. They found that Ralph had one or more secret storage areas containing an assortment of "Things". Eventually several explosive items were found along with a chemistry set assembled on his dining room table that resembled something out of the old Frankenstein movie from the 40s. In the basement we're several boxes of what were liquid Picric acid but age had made them go into a solid crystal form making it incredibly unstable. Some of it was moved behind the house and detonated. I still have 2 Geiger counters that I bought from the manger of the home. I was told that there was also a map with them that annotated a place in the woods where he had buried something that required the use of the counters. I know of no official mentioning of any said map though.... small town stuff... Mr. Ralph was known as a nice guy his entire life. I suspect dementia crept in or perhaps a vasular issue lead to his mental decline. [/QUOTE]
