2nd suspect taken in 'Lizard Man' witness death
SUMTER - South Carolina police have a second suspect in custody in last week's shooting death of the man who became famous in 1988 as the first to report a sighting of the legendary Lizard Man.
The Item of Sumter reported Tuesday that 22-year-old Anogory Santrell Slater of Rembert turned himself in to Sumter County sheriff's deputies in last week's shooting death of 37-year-old Christopher Davis.
Nineteen-year-old Lakiem Davar Butler of Camden turned himself in Monday.
Officials say Davis was shot to death in his home in an apparent drug-related incident.
Davis became an international celebrity at age of 16 when he reported the first sighting of the legendary Lizard Man, a big-eyed swamp creature. Authorities never figured out what prompted the reports.

Perhaps a "drug-related-incident" prompted the reports?

The lizard man is real but the bigfoot/ufo types cover it up because they know SC has the real deal.

Really, an "international celebrity"?...I think you may be overestimating the scope of that story.

How could anyone think that a creature that attacked cars and ate the chrome off of them was a drug induced tale?
