Dizzy fetches Janina to survey the crime scene. One day, the police chief-whom Janina simply refers to as the Commandant-is found dead in his car by Janina’s friend Dizzy. Janina sends letters to the police stating the theory that animals may have killed Big Foot out of vengeance. The police begin to investigate the death but are unconvinced that it is a homicide. Janina is a devout believer in astrology, and she thinks that maybe she can use Big Foot’s horoscope to determine his cause of death. Janina loves animals, and Big Foot was an avid hunter.

One day, Janina’s friend and neighbor-whom she calls Oddball-tells her that he has found their neighbor-whom Janina calls Big Foot-dead in his cabin. She used to have two pet dogs, but they went missing. Janina is a semi-elderly woman who lives alone in a cabin in the woods.
