News - StatesmanJournal.com: "The statue of Sacagawea and her baby, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, disappeared from Fort Clatsop National Memorial Park on Jan. 20. It had been bolted into a concrete footing.
A Bend scrap dealer tipped police that sellers of the statue's remains had approached him. The statue had been hacked to pieces.
'Based upon the press' attention to this, we realize this is a despicable crime,' said Rocky Pizzo, Bologna's attorney. 'Mr. Bologna would like to apologize to the public for being involved in this peripherally.'
A U.S. Park Service official said the crime 'had a larger impact than just removing something of value from the park.
'It forced us to think about what services and facilities we can leave open to the public,' said David Szymanski, the superintendent at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, of which Fort Clatsop is part."
