BATON ROUGE, LA – Louisiana’s attorney general announced new charges Wednesday after a college intern in the AG’s office, tasked with “just poking around online,” stumbled across what investigators now confirm is the missing 1,264-year-old cypress board, featured prominently in a Facebook photo dump from Clay Schexnayder’s hunting camp.
The intern, who had reportedly spent 30 minutes scrolling through Schexnayder’s “Outdoor Life” album, noticed the massive board serving as an improvised ramp for a mud-covered ATV. The ancient artifact, once displayed at the State Capitol, appears in at least four photos, including one labeled “Camp Upgrades!!!”
According to sources, the AG’s office had “no idea where to even start” until the intern casually asked, “Hey, wasn’t this the thing everyone’s looking for?”
Officials say the board’s distinctive engraved lettering is clearly visible beneath the four-wheeler tire tracks, alongside various other “camp essentials” including deer corn, an old ice chest, and what appears to be a hand-painted sign reading “NO POLITICS BEYOND THIS POINT.”
Schexnayder has maintained he has no idea what happened to the artifact, insisting the board was “exactly where I left it.” He did not clarify whether he meant his legislative office or the back lot of his hunting camp, where the photos were taken.
Investigators say more charges may be possible once the intern reaches the 2018 albums.
