A sealed cardboard box found in a roadside ditch contained 438 notebooks meant for Millrace Elementary - and that single discovery led to unraveling more than $240,000 in fraudulent billing tied to a school procurement scheme. How did a vendor delivery record show a signature for goods that sat in a ditch for months, and who profited while classrooms went without supplies?
In this episode, you’ll hear the timeline from the morning Frank O’Brien found the box through the administrative and investigative steps that followed, following the trail of purchase orders, delivery manifests, and internal flags to the state attorney general’s office. What began as a routine county call grew into questions about vendor practices, procurement signatures, and recurring cash exchanges.
