概要
Half of a town of 608 people paid in full for funerals that never happened, and a metal filing cabinet full of 112 signed contracts was dug up from an embankment - but where did the money go and who profited? The buried cabinet, photographed and catalogued as evidence, kicked off a six-year question: how did a man selling “peace of mind” quietly become the center of a rural fraud scheme?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of discoveries and documents that reveal what residents of Sutter Flats bought from a business called Serenity Passage, who sold the contracts, and the moment Michelle Mason realized the trust accounts and promised funeral services might be a lie. What unfolds from that single filing cabinet, and how do the contracts in it answer the question of missing funds?
