When investigating mysterious disappearances, analyzing the geographic pattern of incidents can reveal important clues about the nature and location of the threat; in this case, the disappearances progressively moved further downstream from Cedar Canyon, suggesting a systematic pattern that could help identify the source of the danger.

George Montgomery, that we don't quite understand Cimarron City, 1958Added:
There is a definite pattern, Lane. I remember my father telling me a story about a about a boy who was burned in the fire that that killed his parents.
>> Yeah, the Dunlap boy. Uh Dunlap, >> that's right.
>> He lived in a little settlement up in the Cedar Canyon area. I remember uh he was last seen going into the gorge with his dog. I don't think anyone has seen or heard of him since.
>> But later, somebody found the dog's body with a bullet in it, but never a trace of him.
>> That's right. Now my point is Lane that the first stories of the beast started up there in the Cedar Canyon area.
Now besides the Dunlap boy, there were several hunters and and settlers who disappeared right about there. But later stories and these records show that as the years went by, the disappearances took place further and further down from that point. Now, the abandoned cave with the remains of the three hunters was found almost 20 miles below Cedar Canyon, and the settler and his wagon and dead horses were found even farther down the river.
Now, the circuit riding preacher and his camp and belongings were found almost 10 miles below that point, but his horse showed up almost 20 m further down the river. The fellow who took his dog for a walk last year. He disappeared even closer to Simon City.
You're right, Matt. There sure is a pattern.
>> Do you think there's a chance it might just be renegade Indians doing this?
Well, there's always a chance, Lane, but the tribes themselves were scared out of the temper area when they heard the stories. Now, if in front of them, I'm sure they would have known about it.
>> That's right, too.
But there's one thing we can be sure of.
Mr. Hargra's disappearance in my dead steer proves this. Whoever it is or whatever it is, it's now operating in our own backyard.
>> Matt, what is it, Silus?
>> There's a rumor traveling around like wildfire that's likely to get out of hand. I figured the quickest way to stop it was to come straight to you.
>> It ain't a rumor, Silus. My boys don't make up stories out of their own heads.
They heard Mr. Rockford himself telling Doc Hodgees that the beast of the Simon was here right close to town. Now, you going to deny that, Mr. Rockford?
>> Well, now let's not get panicky about this.
>> Yeah, Mr. Rockford, you know my boys well?
>> Yes, I know them quite well.
>> I won't have people thinking the storytellers like Silus says.
>> Why? I there.
>> You did say it, didn't you?
>> Well, now I I might have suggested that something like that wasn't impossible.
There, Silus. Now, what do you got to say?
>> Well, say if it is true, we turn well ought to do something about it.
>> Well, I should say so.
>> All right. All right. Now, let's not get carried away just because there's something going on here that that we don't quite
