Later on he took Fred, Daphne, and Velma out to Scorpion Ridge in his painting truck to investigate in the canyon for clues. As Shaggy and Scooby told him and the gang about their abduction from the aliens Lester asked them if they were "experimented" on. The next morning, Lester, Daphne, Fred, and Velma returned to the diner to have breakfast, when Shaggy and Scooby met up with them after Crystal dropped them off and were not hungry. Shaggy and Scooby slept on the roof, where they were eventually kidnapped by the supposed aliens. He gave Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley a small room with a bunk bed and gave Fred Jones a sofa. Since the gang had no place to stay and since there was no hotel in the area, he offered them to stay in his home for the night. The walls were plastered with paintings of aliens and models of aliens and spaceships. The gang visited his home to have a look at his pictures but these turned out to be just be his landscape paintings. He also said he had lots of pictures of these sort of occurrences. When Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo burst through Sergio's Diner claiming to have seen aliens, Lester told the whole gang about the time he was abducted and experimented on by aliens. He raised a family, which had since moved away. He appears slightly eccentric and crazed, but he's also friendly and hospitable. He wears a bright red waistcoat and a white buttoned shirt tucked into brown pants, and sandals. Lester is an elderly man with gray shoulder-length hair and sideburns sticking out of a brown hat which has a red band around it.
