For the next few weeks, the FBI and investigators received several confusing phone calls and letters leading them to various points throughout Morris and Somerset Counties. One of the calls claimed that the kidnappers were aware of their presence in the ransom deal, and had therefore taken Reso out of the country. However, investigators noticed that the letters were placed in points that only someone with a strong knowledge of Morris Township would have been aware of. They began to suspect that the kidnappers were not members of Greenpeace at all. Another such indication came after the investigators traced the kidnappers' calls; all had been made from nearby payphones. In response to one of the letters, Reso's wife Patricia made two public appearances on TV, pleading for her husband's safe return.
