Who else would?

1. Jennifer Devlin, education director, Portland Audubon, age 33-ish.
2. Suzy Karpowicz, board of directors, Portland Audubon, age 32.

Suzy grew up in New Hampshire, so there's actually a very good chance
she DID do it! Driving across a couple of states for fresh road
kill is just the kind of thing either of these characters would do.

Take my word for it. Think twice before agreeing to lead any trip
on which they'll be along.
