BRANT LAKE, N.Y. - The Connecticut doctor who made national headlines in the 90's amid accusations of child abuse, is making headlines again, As more than 50,000 pictures and video reels of children were found in a secret room in his former Hartford home.

The case has crossed state lines. George Reardon vacationed here in Brant Lake while he was alive And some of his victims say he brought them here under the pretense that he was doing research on growth and development. Now cops want to know if there's more evidence of abuse here in the North Country.
West Hartford Police Department Sergeant Jeff Rose said, "After this case was made public, we've had a lot of victims come forward and people they said they've been up here, otherwise we wouldn't have come up."
"After the FBI came we knew what it was all about, "said Dennis Malanchuk, who owns the house next to Reardon's former cabin.
The child abuse and pornography allegations come as absolutely no surprise to the people who used to live right next door to George Reardon in Brant Lake. They said he used to bring up groups of kids and that there were never any other adults around.
Malanchuk said, "We knew that when he came, he brought two or three kids with him. We thought it was funny that he never brought a nurse or a secretary or any women. Just kids. Just boys."
The cabin that Reardon used to own is now used as a summer cottage. The couple who owns it is in Rhode Island so now police have to wait to get their permission before they can get inside.
Rose said he doesn't know exactly what they'll look for once they get in. But they do know that the investigation into Reardon is far from over, even though the doctor has been dead for almost a decade.
