概要
Lantern Burning at Noon: Why Millhaven's Telegraphman Never Left Work

A kerosene signal lantern was found burning at 10:30 AM beside a telegraph station in Millhaven while the man beneath it had been dead nearly twenty hours - his skull crushed by a single, deliberate blow. Who lit a night lantern in daylight, and why was Donald Evans left to lie unseen behind the station?

In this episode, we follow the discovery, the immediate investigation, and the odd details that puzzled local officers and the company’s special agent; what began as a simple missing-operator report turns on an ink-stained log, a measured fuel tank, and a history of dependable routine - so how did everything go so wrong?
