The Cone That Cracked a $62,000 Payroll Heist

The ordinary sight of a fluorescent-orange, 36-inch highway cone unlocked a chain of precise movements that stole between $62,000 and $78,000 in payroll cash - and the cone was stamped Dellwood County Public Works even though the nearest Dellwood depot was 47 miles away. Who moved a single cone across counties and why did one cone get left behind when the rest vanished?

In this episode, you will hear the step-by-step events of the Friday morning run, the eleven-minute gap that cost a sealed currency box, and how one photographed cone tied distant evidence together - could one misplaced object unravel a carefully planned robbery?

Person: Ed Pruitt
Date: February 8, 2019
Location: Millhaven Lumber Cooperative
Amount: $62,000 to $78,000
Object: 36-inch fluorescent-orange highway cone stamped Dellwood County Public Works

- Courier Ed Pruitt had driven the Friday payroll run 106 times without incident.
- The van left at 7:40 AM and normally arrived at the cooperative by 8:05 AM, a 25-minute route.
- At 7:52 AM Pruitt encountered six orange cones across Hatcher Road and was directed onto Sable Branch Road.
- The rear doors were opened and the currency box was taken within 40 seconds; Pruitt waited 11 minutes before calling dispatch.
- Three days later a single cone stamped with a Route Nine staging yard batch from fall 2018 was found 47 miles from Dellwood at 8:22 AM by county surveyor Kathleen Young.
