Lieutenant Tory Thompson, who was looking into the man's case, highlighted the discrepancies in the scene of the alleged attack. According to Thompson, if a wild boar had indeed been responsible for the incident, there would have been more blood. He noted that the scene was unusually clean for such a violent event.
Upon further investigation, the man was found with his legs bandaged and his wounds dressed in cloth. The severed legs were discovered in a bucket, hidden among old tires in a nearby location. This discovery confirmed the authorities' suspicions that the man was lying and attempting to defraud the insurance company.
As the investigation continued, it became clear that the man's actions were driven by deceit and the desire to obtain a large payout. This bizarre case is surely no one involved in it will forget about anytime soon.
