A couple of years ago, I followed up the the reporter who first covered Ernie. I asked if there was going to be a follow up story…basically, they said they rarely do follow up stories. I said it would be another good story if the follow up showed significant improvement…still a Ho-hum response.
In addition to trying to get any information about Ern, I also tried to find newer information about Valerie and Pauline. I found nothing. Like I said in another post, these stories were probably paid for and produced by a video production company, not a real news outlet. That’s my guess, though I have no proof.
