Physical Description Note

Carol McCoy, who eventually died in Jonestown, calls Joe Mazor, the detective hired by the Concerned Relatives to assist apostates in getting their relatives returned to them, and asks about his services. She says she has children in Jonestown, and wants to know how to get them back. Mazor replies cautiously, and asks her what she wants him to do. "Well, that's kinda what I wanted to know, what I wanted you to tell me," McCoy replies. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
