Every hunter knows that a bear trap sometimes snares only a rabbit, but there are also times when a rabbit trap will also trip up a bear. At this moment, most of the folks in Lastenbury still don't know whether Constable Newton actually caught a bear or only a rabbit when he arrested Edward Reynolds at the meeting the night before. The general belief is that Reynolds was arrested for the murder of his ex-fiance. Mike seems to have gathered information on the case but hasn't stopped long enough to tell Molly about it.
