Have you tried a bait and switch?  Inform the posse of
a really horrible abomination.  As expected the posse
will ignore it except for this heroic player.  Have it
turn out to be a good Mad Scientist or some beneficial
creature instead which offers a boon to the party
member.  This might get the rest of the party more
interested in investigating weird occurances.
