WMATMA Great Beginnings: Kevin Prier and the C.A. Walter Ford Truck
By Don Arndt
About 1998 C.A. Walter gave us his 1957 Ford F100 in his will along with $5,000 in cash. Shortly after his passing, since he was such a huge supporter of WMAT MA, we built the Mill House using those funds. The F100 we now owned was restored and C.A. being a real gear head, had rebuilt a 1955 Thunderbird 292 Y block and put in it. Several men have been our "caretaker and operator" of the old classic Ford truck, but for the last 4 years it has sat quietly waiting for the right guy to come along. Kevin Prier was that guy! Only a couple weeks ago Kevin got the keys to the old girl. He had to do a lot of maintenance of course, but it needed a starter and a battery just to begin bringing the old Ford Back to life. After he rebuilt the carburetor and lots of other issues that happen when they sit for a time, he has it DONE! It runs great now, and he's drove it around the Village enough to know it doesn't overheat. Kudos to Kevin for a job well done.

From the desk of Bates County Coroner Greg Mullinax
As skeletal remains require special treatment for investigation, I contacted the Forensic Anthropology Recovery Unit at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas to respond to the secure scene. The forensic anthropologist and recovery team arrived a short time later and worked late into the night securing and preserving the remains.
Dental specimens were examined and dental records were obtained by the Bates County Sheriff regarding a possible missing person in the area. The Sheriff and I were present as the forensic dentist performed the analysis and confirmed the remains were that of Nicole Shalee Mallatt, the referenced missing person.
Ms. Mallatt’s remains were then transferred to Washburn University in Topeka for complete anthropologic examination. The remains were processed and examined and I was kept updated through each step of the process.
Additionally, I requested the remains to be examined also at the University of Nebraska Forensic Anthropology Unit. From November 3 to present day, I have worked with forensic pathologists, toxicologists, anthropologists, and other experts to be positively certain that I have attempted every possible avenue to obtain needed information. As of today’s date, I am satisfied that everything which can be learned from Ms. Mallatt’s remains has been accomplished. The final results of these studies are pending to the ongoing investigation, so I cannot publicly share those results at this time.
With this work complete, I have determined that Ms. Mallatt should finally be laid to rest according to the wishes of her family, who has spent the past months without the closure of a final resting place. I have therefore released Ms. Mallatt’s remains to her next-of-kin as provided by law. Even though remains are released, the case remains open and I continue to work with the ongoing law enforcement investigation.
