LINDEN - Wesley Shermantine may have walked the rolling farmland near Linden in a rare outside excursion for a Death Row inmate. Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told various media outlets that he was informed that Shermantine was let out Sunday in the custody of a heavily armed law enforcement contingent. Padilla contends Shermantine is being offered a set amount of money per body that he helps locate and that the funds for information that results in the discovery of bodies will be paid by the FBI. Padilla said Shermantine claims as many as 72 bodies were dumped in four water wells.
