A Dry Shoe in the Tidal Cut: The Murder of Lori Donnelly

A dry inner shoe lining pulled from a tidal cut became the single clue that suggested deliberate placement, not accident - a navy-blue pump with a two-inch heel and braided copper wire tied in a figure-eight knot. How did a shoe remain dry inside after a night in tidal water, and who walked the bank to place it there?

In this episode, we tell the story of the events from the morning Stanley Thompson found the shoe through Amanda Callahan’s three-day civilian inquiry, and the thread that led from a classified naval file to a confession decades later - can one woman’s notes and persistence reveal what the Navy sealed?

Person: Lori Donnelly
Date: September 9-10, 1943
Location: Tidal cut near Slip Fourteen, Halverson Dry Dock, Dunmore, North Carolina
Investigator: Amanda Callahan
Confession: Diane Reynolds, May 1974

- A retired caulker, Stanley Thompson, set eight trotlines and found seven with fish and the eighth holding a navy-blue woman's pump.
- The shoe was a left-foot pump, size six, two-inch heel, brass buckle, with braided copper wire coiled inside in a figure-eight knot.
- The shoe’s outer leather was damp but the inner lining was noted to be dry by the duty officer and Amanda Callahan the same morning.
- Lori Donnelly’s body was recovered September 10, 1943, and the medical examiner recorded strangulation by braided copper wire; her right shoe was soaked through.
- The case file was classified by the United States Navy within a week and remained sealed in a federal archive until a confession in May 1974.
