Thise theory sees the unnamed Piper as their leader or a recruiting agent.

Another site adds interesting details to shaneystar2's reference. It especially gives detail to the possibility that the children came to great harm. More likely is the reference near the end of young adults moving to a recently conquered area to establish new communities. The dates mentioned seem to fit the timeline for a myth that, apparently, has an historical basis of some kind:

Well Clanad I was shaneystar but changed to shaneystar 2 because people were cloning usernames on the site.My name is from our darling dog , a crossbreed German Shepherd/Labrador who we rescued when he was eighteen months old. His name is Shane. But we call him Shaney and we think he is a star.He is now ten years old and here he is

No Clanad ..he was called Shane when we took him on and was unfair to change his name ..mind you we have other pet names which he answers to !
Shane ..great film also starring Jack Palance..I think.

Jack Palance as Jack Wilson in Shane has to be one of the best depictions of a "bad guy" in western movies. Probably one of the reasons the movie won an Oscar that year. Another reason has to be the scenery. It was the first movie ever filmed in the Jackson Hole Valley, in northwestern Wyoming. The background of the Grand Tetons is still used in many productions. (Happy to hear your strawberrys turned out well!).
