The Tarpaulin, the Blood Type, and the Woman Freed Too Late

A single municipal tarpaulin with a bright red Parks Department logo was found folded over a dead woman in a dry cleaner’s back room - and the name tied to that tarp waited in a filing cabinet for eight years. A blood smear of type A-positive, shared by roughly one in three Americans, became the prosecution’s linchpin; how did a routine sign-out sheet become the missing piece that could have freed a woman sooner?
In this episode, we tell the story as presented in the record: the scene at Prestige Cleaners, the investigative choices that followed, and the unanswered question about the tarpaulin that was set aside - could a simple sign-out entry have changed an eight-year conviction?
Person: Margaret Foley
Date: September 17-18, 1986 (time of death estimated 36-48 hours before discovery)
Location: Prestige Cleaners, 414 Hargrove Street, Dorrfield
Person: Sandra Weaver
Evidence: Tarpaulin marked "Dorrfield Municipal Parks Department" with a reference number
- The medical examiner estimated time of death at 36 to 48 hours before discovery on September 18, 1986.
- Margaret Foley was 53 years old and had operated Prestige Cleaners at 414 Hargrove Street for 11 years.
- Sandra Weaver was 54 years old, beneficiary of a $14,000 life insurance policy on Foley, and had blood type A-positive.
- The blood-type match used at trial covered approximately 34% of the American population.
- The tarpaulin had been signed out in July 1986 in the Parks Department log to "Nelson Groundskeeping" for a drainage job at Reston Park.
