概要
Dry Case at Pryor Lake: How Nine Maps Disappeared Overnight

A dry leather archival case resting on soaked earth triggered an unraveling theft that stretched nearly a decade and involved forgers, broken security, and seven replacement maps returned to their owner - seven that were wrong. How did a climate-controlled facility with badge logs and a humidity sensor produce a package of expertly handled fakes and a man who had spent eleven years assembling a four-million-dollar folio suddenly betrayed?

In this episode, we tell what happened from the moment George Christensen found the case at 6:00 a.m. to the discoveries by detectives and conservators that exposed a network of aliases and a multi-year forgery operation. Follow the sequence of arrivals, badge entries, and the anomalies that raised the question: who used a broken sensor and repeated door access to swap nine historic maps?
