The couple was served a no trespass notice by the Windsor County Sheriff’s Office the next day, and after an unsuccessful attempt to find a friend to help them move the camper it was towed away by authorities on Monday, April 22. Rogers and Harper have been unable to find stable housing since the loss of their camper. (Valley News / Report For America - Alex Driehaus) Copyright Valley News.
