Syringe on a Fence Post: How Morphine Exposed a Murderment

A glass medical syringe with a calibrated barrel and a steel plunger, found upright on a fence post a quarter mile from the Delano settlement, carried an amber residue later identified as therapeutic-dose morphine sulfate-months after Sherry Vickers was buried with $4.60 missing from her tin box. Who left a hospital-grade syringe eleven miles from the nearest pharmacy and why did a county doctor sign a death certificate citing heat prostration after less than twenty minutes with the body?
In this episode, we follow the chain of events from the moment Warren Zimmerman found the syringe to the laboratory result that upended the official cause of death. The episode covers the key people, the timeline from October 6-9, 1934, and the evidence that forced the case to be reopened: was a supposed natural death actually a murder?
Person: Sherry Vickers
Date: October 6-9, 1934
Location: Delano Agricultural Labor Settlement, Tulare Township, California
Event: Syringe found on fence post; morphine sulfate detected
Person: Frank Mueller
- Sherry Vickers, age 62, was found unresponsive on the morning of October 7, 1934 and buried on October 9, 1934.
- A glass syringe was found standing upright on a fence post at 6:14 AM on October 9, 1934, roughly 36 hours after it had been placed there by one estimate.
- The nearest pharmacy and nearest doctor were each 11 miles from the Delano settlement where the syringe was found.
- County doctor Howard Sims spent fewer than 20 minutes with Vickers’s body and listed the cause of death as “heat prostration complicated by age.”
- Laboratory analysis at the Sacramento state laboratory at the end of October 1934 identified the syringe residue as therapeutic-concentration morphine sulfate.
