  • The Blue Envelope That Stole Her Life Savings and Her Trust

    The Blue Envelope That Stole Her Life Savings and Her Trust
    2026/08/09
    The Blue Envelope That Stole Her Life Savings and Her Trust

    Fear that the person who steadied you could be the one who empties your accounts: a pale blue envelope, a handwritten "My dearest Sandra," and a combination lock code launched a scheme that drained $41,000 from a recent widow. How did a grief support group, a stolen Navy photo, and a storage unit become the threads of a con?

    In this episode, we walk through the sequence of events that led Sandra Boyd to send money, how the letters and texts built trust, and the discovery that tied disparate clues together - culminating in the unanswered question of who orchestrated the con and why the blue envelope was left where anyone might find it.

    Person: Sandra Boyd
    Event: Death of spouse by sudden cardiac arrest
    Group: Harlow Healing Circle
    Amount: $41,000
    Item: Pale blue envelope

    - The envelope was found flat against the service door of Sunrise Storage at 9:00 AM on a Tuesday in early July.
    - The handwritten letter inside began "My dearest Sandra" and ended with a combination lock code and the words "everything you need to start over."
    - Sandra Boyd was 44 years old and had been married to Tom Boyd for 19 years; Tom died of sudden cardiac arrest one Saturday morning in November.
    - By March, Sandra and Michael Carter had exchanged phone numbers; by April she was saving many of his texts, including "I am deeply grateful you exist."
    - Over about a year, Sandra sent a total of $41,000 after multiple requests for funds described as emergencies for Michael Carter.

  • The Ring on the Septic Riser: How He Stole Her $31,400

    The Ring on the Septic Riser: How He Stole Her $31,400

    The Ring on the Septic Riser: How He Stole Her $31,400

    A dry gold-toned ring sat on a wet septic riser at 14 Quarry Hollow Drive the morning of June 7, 2019 - despite two days of rain and wet surroundings. Who placed an engagement-style ring on that concrete lip, why it was dry when everything else was wet, and what that odd scene would reveal about a $31,400 loss are the questions that make this case impossible to ignore.

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from Marcia Marshall buying her first home and keeping a weekly savings spreadsheet to the online relationship that began in January 2018 and shifted to late-night voice calls by March. What happened between that ring on the riser and the missing $31,400, and who was really behind the profile calling himself Patrick Egan?

    Person: Marcia Marshall
    Date: June 7, 2019
    Location: 14 Quarry Hollow Drive
    Amount: $31,400
    Person: Brian Romano

    - Marcia moved into 14 Quarry Hollow Drive in March 2017 at age 26.
    - By early 2018 her savings balance was roughly $40,000.
    - The ring was found by Larry Quinn on the concrete lip of the secondary septic riser on the morning of June 7, 2019 after two days of rain.
    - The online contact began in January 2018 on a professional networking platform using the name Patrick Egan.
    - Brian Romano, age 34 and living near Lagos, Nigeria, used photos of a real Cincinnati engineer and a recorded voice clip to pose as the man Marcia thought she knew.

  • He Rewrites a Dying Man's Will: The Earl Richardson Case

    He Rewrites a Dying Man's Will: The Earl Richardson Case
    2026/08/07
    He Rewrites a Dying Man's Will: The Earl Richardson Case

    Fear that someone you trust can erase a life’s routine in months - a cream-colored envelope, a Buick untouched for four days, and a recliner where a 56-year-old man sat confused and malnourished. How did eight months of small transfers and careful notes turn Earl Richardson’s steady life into a mystery of money, a person named only as "J.," and a will rewritten?

    In this episode, we follow the timeline from the May 9 discovery at Pelham Slough to the interviews and documents found at 414 Crestfield Drive, showing how daily routines, bank withdrawals, and a spiral notebook chart a changing relationship - and ask who benefited when Earl’s decisions shifted.

    Person: Earl Richardson
    Date: May 9, 2023
    Location: 414 Crestfield Drive
    Age: 56
    Witness: Frank Kowalski

    - Cream-colored envelope addressed "My Earl" was found under a windshield wiper at Pelham Slough on the morning of May 9, 2023.
    - Earl Richardson’s Buick had not moved for four days when birdwatcher Ross Brooks noticed it.
    - Investigators found Earl alive, sitting in a recliner, with three weeks of unopened mail and signs of malnourishment.
    - Bank records show transfers beginning September 2022: $800 in September, $2,200 in October, and a $1,200 money order in November, totaling $4,200.
    - In January 2023 Earl made two withdrawals within nine days totaling $14,000 described in his journal as "helping J. through the property litigation."
