The Treasurer Who Lied to a Town: $411,000 Missing, Box on a Trail

A small-town treasurer hid $411,000 in plain sight for nine years while a labeled box of financial records sat on a jogging trail waiting to be found - who would notice and why did no one check the bank statements? This episode centers on the missing booster club funds, the cardboard box labeled "GBCA FINANCIALS FY2010-FY2018" left on a drainage swale, and the single volunteer who could not let a printed summary go unanswered.

In this episode, we tell how routine volunteer bookkeeping, a string of fundraiser deposits, and one accounts payable clerk's skepticism exposed a long-running theft; what led Sherry Slater to keep pushing for a real bank statement and how her actions cracked the case are the questions that drive the story.
