    2026/10/30
    A woman’s hand breaks through a soybean row in Grover’s Mill-how can a surveyor’s map put a person in the wrong field?

    A surveyor's map put her body in the wrong field by 100 feet

    In this episode, we lay out the facts as they were found: the morning Sharon Baker discovered a hand in a harvested field, the household routines that made Kimberly Perry’s absence alarming, and the land records that shifted suspicion from neighbor to map. How did property lines, a county surveyor and a disputed drainage easement reshape the investigation?

    Person: Kimberly Perry
    Person: Sharon Baker
    Person: Lauren Patterson
    Date: September 6 (discovery); September 3 (last seen)
    Location: County Road 9, Grover’s Mill

    - Sharon Baker, a sixteen-year-old paper carrier, found a woman’s hand pushing up through soybean stubble at 5:40 a.m., ring on the finger.
    - Kimberly Perry’s truck, garden with a trowel upright, and daily routines suggested she was home the morning she disappeared.
    - Dennis Perry returned from Indianapolis on September 5 to find the house locked inside except an unlatched back door and no signs of forced entry.
    - The recovered remains were on the south side of County Road 9 in a neighbor’s field-about a hundred feet from the property tied to Kimberly’s house.
    - In 2021 the county assessor sent licensed surveyor Lauren Patterson to resolve an easement and drainage dispute that had embroiled these adjoining fields.

  • The ventilation panel that shoved an arm out and sealed her fate

    The ventilation panel that shoved an arm out and sealed her fate
    2026/10/30
    A sealed tide-gauge annex, a padlock untouched, and an arm-sized gap in a ventilation panel - how did that expose them?

    The ventilation panel that shoved an arm out and sealed her fate

    In this episode, we follow the discovery of senior coastal survey technician Kathleen Marsh inside a locked Harwick County tide gauge annex and the sequence of clues that made the sealed building inexplicable. The episode traces the scene, the building details, and the early investigative choices that turned a simple padlock into the central mystery: how could anyone have left?

    Person: Kathleen Marsh, 37, senior coastal survey technician
    Date: November 7-8 (final log entry 6:40 p.m., discovered 7:41 a.m.)
    Location: Harwick County tide gauge annex, Aldous Spit, Maine
    Cause: Blunt force trauma (medical examiner estimate time of death 6-9 p.m.)
    Building detail: Two 14-inch ventilation panels; north panel has ~4-inch gap at top edge

    - Deputies found the annex locked with an undamaged brass padlock and Kathleen’s notebook open to a 6:40 p.m. calibration log entry.
    - The annex is a one-room, garage-sized building housing analog tide gauge equipment, secured by one door and two ventilation panels fixed with interior wing nuts.
    - Colleagues noted Kathleen’s methodical routine and a perfect attendance of 300 consecutive pier calibration walks; an office admin heard her boots at 5:48 p.m, on November 7.
    - The harbormaster’s liaison, Tom Adler, had one of only two keys, his key fit and turned the padlock, and he had no confirmed alibi for the evening.
    - A structural engineer noted a four-inch gap above the north ventilation panel-too small for a person but large enough for an arm-and that observation went unacted for six weeks.

  • The smear of correction fluid that rewrote his departure time

    The smear of correction fluid that rewrote his departure time
    2026/10/30
    A woman's phone keeps pinging after her death, tracing a route that points to a man who altered his logbook. Key search: location pings?

    The smear of correction fluid that rewrote his departure time

    In this episode we lay out the facts of a missing-person case where forensic data upended initial assumptions. We describe Denise Andrews' routines, the discovery in a cistern, the phone pings, and the altered logbook - what do those mismatches mean?

    Person: Denise Andrews
    Date: August 7-10
    Location: fuel-and-convenience station, Carver County
    Event: nine location pings over seventy-two hours after death
    Person: Casey

    - Denise stopped for the same lemon cake every Thursday and never missed her post-shift text; she did not send it after August 7.
    - A sanitation contractor, Larry Bishop, found Denise in a holding cistern on the morning of August 10.
    - Phone tower data showed nine pings over seventy-two hours that tracked northwest from the fuel station along the route Casey's log claimed he left on.
    - The station register records Denise completing a sale at 10:22 pm on August 7, while a fuel pump receipt shows a purchase at 10:09 pm that night.
    - A forensic document examiner found original ink reading "10:15" beneath correction fluid on Casey's logbook departure time, later overwritten to "10:00."

    2026/10/29
    A dead phone pinged a tower at 3:22 AM on County Road Seven, tying a vanished waitress to a corridor she shouldn't have reached - how?

    A dead phone with a drained battery pinged a tower at 3:22 AM

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events, movements, and evidence around a young woman found in a dry wash and the impossible cell-tower ping that followed. What happened between her last confirmed signal before 9:00 PM and that 3:22 AM tower hit?

    Person: Connie Keller
    Age: 23
    Location: County Road Seven, Harlan County, Nevada
    Date: body found August 8; last daytime receipt August 7; tower ping 3:22 AM
    Person: Randy Wright

    - At 6:14 AM on August 8, a road-grader operator exposed Connie Keller in a dry wash with a face-down phone six feet away.
    - The phone’s screen was cracked and laboratory tests showed its battery was fully depleted before 9:00 PM on August 7.
    - Despite being dead, the phone’s number registered a ping on a tower covering CR-Seven at 3:22 AM the following morning.
    - Connie worked until 5:00 PM at Mesquite Flat Truck Stop, bought a pie at 16:52, and never arrived at her mother’s house that evening.
    - Randy Wright, an HVAC technician, was on-site at Mesquite Flat from 14:00 to 17:30 on August 7 and was later served a warrant on September 4.

    The Supply-Room Key That Walked Out-and Put Her Body in the River
    2026/10/29
    A supply-room key vanishes from a locked rehab - Heather Clark’s body is found in the river; who walked that key out?

    The Supply-Room Key That Walked Out-and Put Her Body in the River

    In this episode, we follow the timeline, physical evidence, and access records surrounding Heather Clark’s disappearance and death. What did the missing supply-room key-and its quiet return-say about who moved through Millhaven Rehabilitation Center that night?

    Person: Heather Clark
    Date: October 11-14
    Location: Millhaven Rehabilitation Center; Sable River
    Person: Detective Rachel Griffin
    Item: Supply-room manual key

    - Heather Clark, a 52-year-old occupational therapist, signed out of the food pantry at 8:30 PM on October 11 and was later placed in the rehab center parking lot by cell records.
    - Heather’s wallet and keyring were found locked inside her desk drawer the morning she was reported missing, not on her body or in her car.
    - A folded winter coat with Heather’s name on the collar was found dry on a supply-room shelf during a maintenance sweep on October 13; forensic testing found no river contamination.
    - The facility’s keycard logs show Megan Davis, a contract billing coordinator hired seven weeks earlier, swiped into the staff entrance at 10:02 PM on October 11 and lingered near the supply-room corridor on camera.
    - The supply-room’s manual tumbler key was missing from the facilities cabinet on October 12 and was back in place the next morning with no sign-out log entry, despite Heather being the only staff member assigned that manual key.

  • The hiking pole toppled against the wall - she fell from the pump house

    The hiking pole toppled against the wall - she fell from the pump house
    2026/10/29
    A routine walk on Harlan Falls, a locked pump house, and a hiking pole-how do you fall from that high, asks the Harlan Falls trail mystery?

    The hiking pole toppled against the wall - she fell from the pump house

    In this episode, we follow the sequence of small, everyday facts that turned into an impossible scene: a retired postal carrier who walked the same trail for years, a padlocked municipal pump house sealed from the outside, and a hiking pole found leaning against its wall. What chain of decisions and moments could place Nicole Schultz inside a locked building no key should have opened?

    Person: Nicole Schultz
    Date: May 9 (body found); last seen May 6
    Location: Pump house at northern end of Kettle Ridge Trail, Route Nine corridor
    Person: Julie Davis
    Item: Hiking pole leaning against exterior pump house wall (grip down)

    - Nicole’s Tuesday routine: diner booth four, same coffee order, then the Route Nine walk she’d done for eleven years.
    - On April 29 Nicole saw Julie Davis at mile 2.1 pulling a bag from a drainage culvert; Nicole later mentioned it at the diner.
    - The pump house was locked from the outside with the official padlock showing no force or tampering.
    - The water authority’s only key remained signed into the office lockbox and had not been used.
    - One of Nicole’s walking poles was found propped against the pump house wall with the grip pointing down, a deliberate placement that puzzled investigators.

  • The tide log signed with Hall's name proved she wasn't found at dawn

    The tide log signed with Hall's name proved she wasn't found at dawn
    2026/10/29
    A tide log with Valerie Powell's name was found inside the locked Harbor Master building - who brought it there and why?

    The tide log signed with Hall's name proved she wasn't found at dawn

    In this episode, we set the scene of a small northeastern harbor where routine, trust, and tides intersect around Valerie Powell's disappearance. The episode follows the early evidence that rewrites the timeline and asks what a familiar name in the access register really means for the case.

    Person: Valerie Powell
    Date: July 14
    Location: Harbor Master building, Dellmouth
    Person: Raymond Hall
    Person: Glen Wick

    - Powell walked the Dellmouth breakwater every morning at 5:45 for eleven years and did not return on July 14.
    - A caller spotted Powell’s body on the tidal flat at 6:17 a.m.; the body showed no signs of tidal movement, placing it on the flat before 11:00 p.m. the night before.
    - The Harbor Master building was locked when Detective Sergeant Jeffrey Casey arrived at 7:05 a.m., yet a tide log with Powell’s name was inside, dry and open to July 13.
    - The building’s access register shows Raymond Hall signed in at 5:12 a.m. using a temporary pass issued by Harbor Master Glen Wick two weeks earlier.
    - Glen Wick’s records and phone data place him away from the building after 6:48 p.m. the previous evening, leaving Hall’s early-morning entry unexplained.
