Locked Shed, Bluebird Mug, and the Quiet Killers of Ridler Lake

A rinsed white ceramic mug with a painted bluebird sat handle-out on dock floats inside a locked boat shed five days after its owner disappeared - and the padlock and painted-over hasp screws were undisturbed. Whoever left the mug had apparently locked the shed from the inside and exited through a two-inch gap under a sliding water gate using a hooked rod; how did they manage that with a dead woman found later in the lake?

In this episode, we lay out the sequence of discoveries, forensic findings, and procedural choices that shaped the inquiry. Listen to hear how a grocery list, a set of unidentified partial prints, and a forensic engineer’s measurement connect to the question of how the shed could be sealed from within yet accessed from outside.

Person: Marilyn West
Date missing: September 9
Date shed discovered: September 14
Body recovered: September 19
Cause of death: manual strangulation

- The mug contained a folded handwritten grocery list of seven items written in blue ballpoint.
- The list matched items already present in Marilyn’s kitchen; "Milk" was added with different pen pressure.
- The padlock on the shed was intact and the hasp screws were painted over and undisturbed when found.
- Detectives found four partial right-hand fingerprints on the mug not matching local databases.
- The sliding aluminum water gate had a two-inch gap above the lake; a hooked rod inserted from the lake side could lift the interior latch and allow the gate to lock itself from the inside.
