John Conlan the class clown and Lorraine Jensen the shy girl have become good friends since she moved to town a year ago. One of their after school activities is prank calling people. This eventually becomes to dull, so they made up a contest to see who could keep the person who answered the phone on the longest. This afternoon it was Lorraine’s turn to cover her eyes and point to a name. She ended up picking a man who only lived a few blocks away. This is how she first met The Pigman. When Angelo Pignati answered the phone that day, Lorraine pretended that she was asking for donations for the L & J Fund, Lorraine and John Fund. Mr. Pignati finally said he would donate to their cause, and they agreed to pick up a check the next day. Eventually Lorraine and John ended up spending almost every afternoon or every evening with The Pigman.
