Sources: https://www.njcourts.gov/system/files/court-opinions/2023/a2457-20.pdf
Verification and limits: Court PDF read directly. Latest reviewed sentence supersedes the initial life-without-parole report. Hawkins charge-status inconsistency remains explicit.

Added the December 2015 hunter appeal and distinguished the dated missing-person record from a new police update.
Sources: https://www.phillyvoice.com/police-still-searching-man-last-seen-south-jersey/; https://charleyproject.org/case/david-alan-cohen

6. friendship-etc (updated)
File: pinebarrens/entry/friendship-etc.html
Connected Bozarth’s abandoned mill to census occupations and later recollections of sawdust reused by blueberry growers.
Sources: https://tabernaclehistoricalsociety.org/ths-home-page/historic-archives/notes-on-sandy-ridge/

File: pinebarrens/entry/general-clinton-s-treasure-1892.html
Found the matching dated treasure clipping, recovered Constant LeDuc’s name and explained Paisley’s South Park name change.

Verification and limits: Image inspected. New Jersey Courier Sept8 1892 date supplied by society; full masthead/page still needed. Treasure is rumor; no assertion promoters manufactured it.
8. hosea-moore-samuel-prickett (updated)
File: pinebarrens/entry/hosea-moore-samuel-prickett.html
Added the Fox Chase road and licensing context and traced a possible distortion into a bowling-alley story.

9. beebe-david-1907-murdered (updated)
File: pinebarrens/entry/beebe-david-1907-murdered.html
Located a sentencing report naming Rahway rather than Jamesburg and compared a misleading early syndicated account.

Added the Still brothers’ reunion, the campaign to free Peter’s family and the surviving archive behind William’s published narratives.

14. alice-paul-paulsdale (new)
File: pinebarrens/entry/alice-paul-paulsdale.html
Added the Mount Laurel farm’s role as Alice Paul’s family home, retreat and political meeting place.

15. patty-bowker-road-name (new)
File: pinebarrens/entry/patty-bowker-road-name.html
Added the unresolved Patty Bowker road-name mystery and carefully separated the Addie Bowker hypothesis from proof.
Sources: https://tabernaclehistoricalsociety.org/ths-home-page/people/patty-bowker-explained/
Verification and limits: Single local historical-society study, explicitly labeled hypothesis. Census non-discovery does not prove nonexistence; naming resolution remains missing.
Reviewed but not counted
Freyberger, Dunham, Elizabeth Burr, Chattin and Bradway Brown were initially scoped but did not yield enough new verified narrative within this pass. They received no quota credit. In particular, unrelated same-name matches were discarded.
