The 47 Letters: He Never Left Ohio

Imagine discovering a canvas sack containing 47 handwritten letters, bundled by date, with postmarks from a Greek refugee camp and a Columbus address that matches no known person. These letters were crafted with such precision that they found the exact shape of one woman's compassion, yet the man who wrote them never left Ohio. What elaborate deception could connect these disparate facts?
In this episode, we uncover the story of Janet Lawson, a 22-year-old social work student who volunteered for a pen pal program connecting refugees with American volunteers. Her commitment led her to correspond with a man named Keith, a supposed civil engineer from Sierra Leone living in a Greek refugee camp, whose letters slowly built a compelling narrative that would ultimately reveal a shocking truth.
