Reporter: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Teddy Barnes. I'm with the Woonsocket Call. Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of talk about him on the trains. I don't know, sounds like it could make a good story.
Boilins: It's Boilins, Carl Boilins. B-O-I-L-I-N-S. Yes. There's no “Y', in there. I'm the one that found him handed him over.
Reporter: Oh, yeah? So, Carl... where's he live?
