    She Placed a Library Book - How Shannon Signaled for Rescue

    A dry library book found at 6:52 a.m. on October 14, 2014 carried a due date of that same day and a borrower slip folded outward - a deliberate signal placed by a woman missing for six days. How did a single folded slip become the one thread investigators pulled, and what did it lead them to discover?

    In this episode, we tell the story of Shannon Hughes and the sequence of ordinary details that shifted into urgent clues: her regular library borrowing, a planned river walk, an unstarted commute, and a book left in the shallows of the Auclair River - how did those facts connect?

    Person: Shannon Hughes
    Date: October 7, 2014 (last seen); October 14, 2014 (book found)
    Location: Auclair River; Aldermoor Lane (home)
    Status: Missing (book found signaled rescue)
    Case: Missing person investigated by Detective Teresa McCarthy

    - A fisherman named Carl Reynolds found the library book at 6:52 a.m, on October 14, 2014.
    - The due date printed was the same day the book was found and the borrower slip inside had the borrower’s name folded outward.
    - Shannon was last seen leaving her Cutter Street office at approximately 4:50 p.m, on October 7, 2014.
    - Shannon had borrowed field guides regularly for about 18 months before October 2014 and checked out a regional nature guide on October 3 for an Auclair River walk.
    - Brianne discovered Shannon’s unlocked front door, purse, phone, and a one-third full coffee mug on the morning of October 8, 2014 and called 9-1-1 at 8:22 a.m.

  • How a Leather Planner Threw a Man a Lifeline in Captivity

    How a Leather Planner Threw a Man a Lifeline in Captivity

    How a Leather Planner Threw a Man a Lifeline in Captivity

    A single leather pocket planner, wedged four meters high in an oak and dry after three days of rain, led authorities to free a man held six days in a locked cabin-so how did that tiny object survive the elements and land where it could save a life? The planner was open to a hand-drawn map and found by a county surveyor at 6:40 a.m.; could a tossed notebook really be the one precise, desperate signal that changed everything?

    In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the morning the planner was found to the moment Robert Hicks walked out alive, detailing the timeline, the people connected to Hicks, and the notebook’s path that raised the crucial question: who calculated that a planner thrown from a boarded window would end up dry and visible in that exact tree?

    Person: Robert Hicks
    Date: September 3 (last seen), September 9 (planner found)
    Location: Wexford Street residence; Kellner Forest Road cabin; Tillman Line Road oak tree
    Person: Steven Norris
    Event: Planner found at 6:40 a.m. by Roger Taylor; sheriff called at 7:12 a.m.; Detective Williams on scene by 9:00 a.m.; Hicks freed six hours later

    - Hicks was 44 years old and had lived on Wexford Street for 11 years.
    - Hicks made his last outgoing call at 7:03 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3 and was gone by 7:20 p.m.
    - Hicks’s truck was seen in the driveway and his back gate was unlatched when coworkers checked midday on September 4.
    - The leather planner was wedged in a fork of a tree nearly 4 meters up and was dry despite three days of rain.
    - Detective Melvin Williams read the map in the planner at 9:00 a.m., and six hours later Hicks walked out of a locked cabin after six days in captivity.

  • She Escaped Teller Road: Why He Left a Pristine Shoe Behind

    She Escaped Teller Road: Why He Left a Pristine Shoe Behind

    She Escaped Teller Road: Why He Left a Pristine Shoe Behind

    A pristine size six white canvas sneaker with a pink velcro strap sat unnaturally upright on a septic tank lid-no dirt, no scuffs, no sign it had ever touched the ground-yet it was placed there the morning before a technician arrived. Why would someone stage a shoe like that on Teller Road, and what was it meant to distract investigators from?

    In this episode, we lay out the timeline and concrete details from the disappearance and the scene on Teller Road, following the shoe, the unusual calls, and the people connected to the case to ask the question that drove the investigation: what was the purpose of that staged evidence?

    Person: Amy Slater
    Date: August 7-16, 2019
    Location: Teller Road, near Maren and Linden Park
    Person: Thomas Dempsey
    Person: Edith Slater

    - Amy Slater was 28 years old and stopped registering a phone signal at 8:57 PM on August 7, 2019, two miles south of the Teller Road junction.
    - A white canvas sneaker found on a septic tank lid on Teller Road on August 10 was size six with a pink velcro strap and showed no dirt or scuffing.
    - The septic tank shoe was photographed by technician Erin Duncan before she touched it and her dispatcher called 911 the same day.
    - Thomas Dempsey placed the shoe on the septic tank lid himself the morning before the technician arrived, according to the transcript.
    - The interior sole of the shoe carried a partial handprint consistent with a large adult hand, noted by State Detective Mark Novak.
