  • He Burned the Barn - Why 114 Photos Survived the Fire

    He Burned the Barn - Why 114 Photos Survived the Fire

    He Burned the Barn - Why 114 Photos Survived the Fire

    A burned building reduced to a concrete slab, a locked cabinet scorched at the edges, and inside: 114 pristine color prints with sharp edges and true colors - left untouched where no one would expect them. How did those photographs survive a fire set to destroy evidence, and what did their existence reveal about the man who filed claims for years?

    In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events and the people involved, from the adjuster who controlled both photographs and coordinates to the farmers who accepted altered claims as lifelines, and we follow the investigation that asked one central question: if Jason Wallace knew the photos were in that cabinet, why did he let them survive?

    Person: Jason Wallace
    Case: 114 color prints recovered after barn fire
    Region: Central San Joaquin Valley along Highway 99
    Companies: Meridian Crop Assurance; Halloway Agricultural Risk
    Period: January-September 2011 (19 amended claims)

    - Wallace worked as a crop adjuster for eleven years covering an approximately 80-mile corridor along Highway 99.
    - He filed 19 amended claims between January and September 2011, compared to 22 in the previous four years combined.
    - The recovered evidence consisted of 114 color four-by-six prints found inside a scorched but locked cabinet in a burned building.
    - Wallace filed claims independently for two carriers: Meridian Crop Assurance (Fresno) and Halloway Agricultural Risk (Visalia).
    - Farmers paid Wallace envelopes of cash amounting to 10-15% of the inflated portion of claims.

  • He Stole From Kids: The Treasurer Who Hid $67,000 in Plain Sight

    He Stole From Kids: The Treasurer Who Hid $67,000 in Plain Sight

    He Stole From Kids: The Treasurer Who Hid $67,000 in Plain Sight

    A trusted treasurer ran a nine-year scheme that siphoned $67,000 from a school booster club into a personal account held in his own name-then casually tossed the incriminating ledger into a ditch. How did dozens of transfers land just before meetings while $400-$1,200 disappeared each time, and why did it take a road crew finding a folder to expose it?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from the first lost papers to the accounting trail that tied the money to one man, and we ask how routine trust and on-time reports hid a decade of missing funds.

    Person: Raymond A. Bennett
    Date: September 2011
    Location: Cutler Mill Road, Dellwood Township
    Amount: $67,000
    Role: Treasurer since October 2002

    - The folder found in a drainage ditch contained nine years of bank statements and a handwritten ledger.
    - Bennett served as treasurer for nine years, beginning in October 2002.
    - Forty-one transfers from the booster club landed in Bennett’s personal account over nine years.
    - Each transfer arrived within 72 hours before a board meeting where Bennett gave his treasurer’s report.
    - Each transfer was short by between $400 and $1,200 of the total collected.

  • She Sold a Fake Resort Weekend - 380 People Paid, $31K Vanished

    She Sold a Fake Resort Weekend - 380 People Paid, $31K Vanished

    A local charity raffle raised more than $40,000 from roughly 380 people for a grand prize that did not exist: a luxury weekend at Granger Valley Resort, which had been demolished two years before tickets were sold. How did one woman convince hundreds to hand over cash while a framed confirmation for a prize that couldn’t be claimed hung on the wall of a rented office?

    In this episode, we tell what happened when a utility lineman found a warm shredder and a framed confirmation in a vacant unit, how a 62-year-old water treatment worker named Neil Price followed a hunch, and why the raffle’s money ended up in the organizer’s personal bank account. What did Neil uncover that turned suspicion into a case?

    Person: Lauren Hensley
    Person: Neil Price
    Date: August 9, 2019
    Location: Elsin Road strip mall, Millbrook Township
    Amount: roughly $40,000 collected

    - 380 people across Millbrook Township bought raffle tickets for the supposed prize.
    - Tickets were sold at eleven separate community venues over about five months.
    - Grand prize was advertised as a $2,000 weekend at Granger Valley Resort, which had been demolished in spring 2017.
    - Checks and cash proceeds were deposited into Lauren Hensley’s personal bank account in an adjacent county.
    - Frances Daly bought $200 in tickets and Robert Voss spent $150; Neil Price paid $40 for five tickets.
