Imagine my disappointment when I heard this (and I am paraphrasing):

That's right kids. They have pinpointed his sucker down to the entire state sometime between now and the year 2038.
Wow: they really went out on a limb on this one. This is almost like predicting that Britney Spears will appear in a news story sometime before Christmas.
One story on the subject.
