The Dry Shoe in the Snow: How Frances Lawson Was Found and Forgotten

A single navy blue canvas shoe, size seven and dry inside, stood upright on a snow-covered road that led nowhere useful - and forty feet into the trees lay Frances Lawson, found after a night that would baffle investigators for thirty-nine years. Who placed that shoe in the dark, and why did a cassette tape in a dead detective’s box finally crack the silence?

In this episode, we walk through the timeline from the November 5-7, 1983 roadside events to the 2022 trial, laying out the key moments, witness recantations, and the box of archival evidence that reopened the case - what did it take to move from an unresolved death to a conviction?

Person: Frances Lawson
Date: November 7, 1983
Location: Route Nine Spur, Caldwell County, Ohio
Event: Discovery of body and single shoe
Case: 2022 conviction of Robert Henderson for aggravated murder

- Frances Lawson was 38 years old at the time she was found on November 7, 1983.
- The shoe found upright in the road was a navy blue canvas shoe, flat-soled, size seven, with the toe pointing north and the inside dry.
- Frances’s 1979 Dodge Dart broke down on Route Nine around 8:15 p.m. on November 5, 1983 due to a cracked serpentine belt.
- Two motorists, Arthur Pell and Dennis Fike, reported seeing the Dart and a woman talking to a man beside a dark-colored pickup the night the car stopped; both later recanted similar details on January 14, 1983.
- In October 2022, Robert Henderson admitted he had been on Route Nine that night, admitted Frances Lawson got into his truck, and was later convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to life without parole.
