Early this morning, Henry County sheriffs found a lone survivor of the campsite massacre they discovered earlier. Fifteen year old Leslie-Ann Jenkins is in critical condition at a local trauma center. Police discovered her less than a mile from the blood-strewn campsite where they believe her family was killed.

"She was unconscious when we found her," said Sheriff Cook. "She had some severe wounds which appear to be bite wounds. And she was in shock from loss of blood. It's a wonder that she survived out there, and she's really lucky we found her when we did. Now that she's receiving proper medical care we expect that she'll pull through."

Police are anxious to speak with Leslie, but doctors have no prediction on when she will regain consciousness. Dr. Shirley Nesbitt, the attending surgeon, would offer no further comment on her condition.

"The police have asked me not to give details until the matter is resolved. All I can say is that she is hurt very badly, and is receiving the best care possible."

Henry County Sheriffs have also released the names of the other campers. Debra Jenkins and her husband Thurmond were believed to be killed by the same animal that broke out of the home of Alexander Holt several nights ago. Police believe the attack came very early on the morning of August 11 while the family was sleeping. The animal appeared to have attacked Leslie-Ann's tent first, but was distracted by her parents who fired at it with a small-caliber pistol. The bloody pistol was found on the scene. Leslie-Ann managed to escape with severe, and possibly life-threatening injuries.

Police are still not sure what animal committed the attack, but they are asking all residents to keep doors and windows locked and stay away from unfamiliar animals of any type.

"I think its obvious we're dealing with some kind of wild, possibly rabid beast," said Sheriff Cook. "Our officers at the Holt house described it as a large dog, but it was very dark and there were discrepancies in both descriptions. We are unable to say what this thing is, but we are bringing in animal experts to look at the evidence. We think the animal is content to stay in the woods, but we are asking homeowners to take all reasonable precautions."

Despite two appearances of the animal, at the Holt house and the campsite, police have not found any prints or droppings.

"It's strange," said Cook. "Very strange."

Those words echo the sentiment of neighbors concerning 67 year old Alexander Holt himself, who police believe kept the animal as a pet.

Holt was arrested on suspicion of murder and kidnapping on August 6th. Police found the dismembered and cannibalized remains of local resident Bonnie Hand in Holt's basement, along with items belonging to Angela Stilton, Saretta Lewis, Jamie Anderson, and Henrietta Bolsom, who had all been reported missing in Macon, Ga. earlier this year. Holt killed himself while in police custody, but two nights ago, a large animal destroyed several rooms in the house before breaking out a window and escaping into the woods. Police had speculated that the elderly Holt may have had an accomplice to the kidnappings, but now it appears that that accomplice is not human, and is still at large. Sheriff's officers discovered the of the Jenkins' campsite early yesterday morning.

Meanwhile, investigators still have not found the remains of the missing women after an exhaustive search of the Holt premises. Some neighbors speculate that the women may have been fed to the animal that is now running loose in the woods, looking for more food. Police refuse to comment, and they have also refused to release the details of Bonnie Hand's autopsy, which may hold definite answers about the nature of the animal threatening this Henry County community.
