To Developer Walter Kholberg, it's a perfect spot for his new condo developement. Obviously attractive to the local business community.
The rock and the hard place for Walter, is that the Sanctuary is legally protected from development.

As evidenced by a concerned group of locals trying to stop it.
And why is the mugger helping them?
What does he know about Walter Kohlberg the others don't?
