He Buried a Proof in a Snowstorm - She Unwound a Secret Family Life

Cold proof in a ditch: a shoebox-sized olive-drab metal box sat upright with only half an inch of snow on its lid hours after a Minnesota storm, containing a birth certificate, a Social Security card, and a handwritten letter that begins, "I want whoever finds this to know she was real." Who placed the box in that ditch during the storm - and why hide the only evidence of a life in the snow where a road grader would find it?
In this episode, we follow how a road-grader operator discovered the metal box on County Road 7 and how the papers inside connected a Millhaven postal worker to a woman who had long searched for her origins, raising the question of what the deceased man intended to accomplish by burying proof in a storm.
