概要
The morning Roger Petersen found a waterlogged spiral-bound notebook stamped "Abundant Path Fellowship - Stewardship Record. Year Four" on May 11, it listed 41 names and dollar amounts totaling $1,218,000 - every entry marked CLEARED. Whoever threw the ledger into the Sullen Fork River did not want it found; who would risk that much exposure, and why was a town's money traced to one man's signatures?
In this episode, we tell how a newcomer called Melvin Gardner set up "Restoration Circles" and a Stewardship Record in Hartwell, how Dennis Collins signed without reading paragraph nine, and how that buried clause gave Gardner co-authorization over accounts - leading to an unauthorized $40,000 withdrawal and a waterlogged ledger that prompted a sheriff's investigation. What else did the river reveal about the Fellowship's finances and the families who joined?
Person: Roger Petersen
Date: May 11 (before six in the morning)
Location: Sullen Fork River, two miles south of Hartwell, Indiana
Amount: $40,000 unauthorized transfer from a Collins Ag account
Total listed: $1,218,000 across 41 names
- The ledger cover read "Abundant Path Fellowship - Stewardship Record. Year Four" and page 47 listed 41 names with dollar amounts totaling $1,218,000.
- Roger Petersen found the waterlogged spiral-bound notebook on the Sullen Fork River and called the Dellard County Sheriff's Office within the hour.
- Deputy Chris Mabry, aged 26 with two years on the job, photographed each waterlogged page to preserve the ink.
- A Stewardship Record drafted by Alan Pryce contained paragraph nine granting co-authorization, which Dennis Collins signed in August of Year One without reading.
- Six weeks after signing, $40,000 cleared from a Collins Ag account with Gardner's signature authorizing the transfer.
