Bruce VanHook, who manages the cemetery, was there at 6:30 a.m.
“Between him and I, we have patrolled for probably the last two hours and we cannot see anything that is similar to a monkey,” Bittner said.
The cemetery does have a flock of wild turkeys, he said.
“Wild turkeys nest in trees, so the question is were they nesting in the trees, because whoever filmed and put on social media, it was through the power lines because you can see the power lines in the video.”
Bittner said that means the animals had to be in the trees in section 29 near West 8th Street across from Kilbert Avenue.
