On December 1, 1995, a meeting was held at the residence of Rein Clackin. It was video taped.
In the meeting, Locus and Steven discussed their plans to go to the Pine Barrens.

This was the first time that Locus and Steven officially met Rein Clackin and Jim Suerd.

It was during this meeting that Jim had a seizure of some sort and where numbers appeared on his arm that were later decided to resemble a date remarkably close to the day of the murders. This was an argument for premeditation but successfully argued by the defense as conjecture (as it wasn't the actual date).
