Nature Boy Jon Steffes

In 1949, the farmers outside La Crescent, Minnesota dealt with an unusual visitor. Named 'Nature Boy' by locals, the bearded prowler haunted the valley, stealing from the farmers while hiding in the surrounding bluffs. For months, local law enforcement and farmers using bloodhounds searched for the man, who always seemed to avoid capture. Children were afraid to go into their barns and people began locking their doors. Was Nature Boy real or local folklore?
