The funding for the feature-length documentary Gaylon Emerzian and I are working on comes from German television and ARTE. ARTE is not a “German and French cultural organization,” as Jack describes it, but a television channel which broadcasts simultaneously in two languages both in France and in Germany.
We found Allen’s movie camera not in Wyoming, but in Oklahoma City, while checking on the different addresses our private investigators had provided for certain members of the Samaritan Foundation–the group Allen had joined in 1992/93.
I truly believe that the pressure from MSNBC seriously harmed the relationship between us, the filmmakers, and the members of the Ross family, who had supported our project right from the beginning and expressed their gratitude on many occasions. They were not prepared for the competitive world of media coverage.

Allen Ross’s camera was indeed found in a house in Oklahoma City. I regret the error.
