HORICON — Detectives from the West Hartford, Conn., Police Department will spend a second day Wednesday in the Brant Lake area talking to former neighbors of a seasonal resident who has been accused of sexually abusing dozens of children.

Connecticut police spent much of Tuesday talking to former neighbors of the late Dr. George Reardon. The Warren County Sheriff's Office is assisting West Hartford detectives as they work to figure out who Reardon's victims were over the years.

Police from Connecticut came from the area after a huge collection of child pornography that the late endocrinologist allegedly made using his child patients was found in his former West Hartford, Conn., home.

West Hartford Detective Frank Fallon said investigators talked Tuesday to a number of people who live in the Horicon Birches area of the lake and recalled Reardon's years there. He owned the home for at least 10 years in the 1980s and 1990s.

"Some of them did say there were a lot of children at the house" when Reardon owned it, Fallon said.

He said police have also heard from a number of people who have accused Reardon of abusing them at the Brant Lake cabin.

Reardon was not married and did not have any children of his own. There are no indications he had improper contact with local children while in Warren County, police said.

He said police had no plans to search the small cabin Reardon owned up until his death in 1998.

Fallon said the current owners have done extensive renovations since they bought it and found nothing improper, and the FBI also searched it in 1993 when Reardon came under investigation for child abuse before his death.

Anyone with information in the case can call the Sheriff's Office at 743-2500.
