概要
Hands Folded in the Snow: The Murder of Nancy Zimmerman

A woman found three miles from home with eleven inches of snow around her, her hands folded and an unbroken broadcast vacuum tube balanced on her knees - a scene that refuses to fit accident or exposure. Why was a Type Eight Sixty transmitter tube wrapped in a station log page placed deliberately on Nancy Zimmerman's hands, and who knew about the missing tube weeks earlier?

In this episode, we walk the route, the transmitter room, and the investigation that followed from discovery to confession, tracing the gap between a torn log entry and the station's records to ask whether the physical evidence pointed to a calculated message or a coincidence.

Person: Nancy Zimmerman
Date: March 9, 1934
Location: Harwick Road, three miles east of Millhaven, Nebraska
Object: Type Eight Sixty transmitter triode vacuum tube
Investigator: Beverly Vickers

- Nancy Zimmerman was thirty-eight years old and a widow for five years at the time of her death.
- Eleven inches of snow had fallen overnight between March 7 and March 8 when her body was found.
- She left a church social at approximately 9:15 PM on March 7 to walk six blocks home, a route normally under fifteen minutes.
- A torn page found wrapped around the tube bore log entries for February 22 at 22:04 and 22:09 that did not match the station's retained transmission log.
- Station manager Pete Holloway had logged a tube as assumed breakage and written off on February 15, three weeks before the body was discovered.
