    54 year old Cam Lyman was an eccentric individual. Assigned female at birth, most people thought Cam was a very masculine lesbian. However it has come to light, Cam was most like a trans man. He was a recluse who really only liked venturing out of his home for dog shows. Cam was an incredible dog breeder and showman on the dog show circuit. It was here, he found his true calling. On the dog show circuit he because friends, best friends with another dog breeder and showman named George O'Neil. George over took many of Cam's tasks, from financial business, to taking care of Cam's estate. Oh yeah, Cam was also a multi millionaire. Cam would end up disappearing in 1987, only to have his remains found a decade later.
