The Boot in the Oak: How a Shoelace Exposed a Killer

A single size-seven trail runner was found tied and upright eleven feet in a white oak-no bark gouges, no ladder impressions, and no explanation for how it got there. That shoe, a shoelace weave holding DNA no larger than a skin cell, ultimately pointed toward a man connected to the campsite party; how did a shoe in a tree become the thread that unraveled a killer?

In this episode, you’ll hear the timeline from a campsite with a still-burning fire to the discovery of Gloria West’s body twenty-one days later, and how small routines and phone pings intersect with odd visitor codes to reshape the case. What sequence of events between 11:30 p.m. on November 1 and November 23 led investigators to the person who had been hiding in plain sight?

Person: Gloria West
Age: 31
Location: Larkmoor State Forest
Date: Body found November 23, 2019
Investigator: Michael Weaver

- A size-seven trail runner was found upright in a fork of a white oak, eleven feet off the ground, with laces tied and tongue folded inward.
- Gloria’s body was discovered sixty yards off a fire road, covered with branches and leaf debris, wearing only her left boot, after being missing for three weeks.
- Gloria’s phone pinged a cell tower three-quarters of a mile northwest of Site Eleven at 1:47 a.m, on November 2, 2019.
- Visitor entry code at Gloria’s duplex was used on October 22 at 11:14 a.m. and again October 31 at 2:40 p.m., with no service calls logged by Orviss Gas and Electric.
- The campsite reservation for nearby Site Eleven was under the name David Carr, with a parking stub photographed to a pickup truck registered to Kenneth Simmons, age 38, contractor, who is Beth Novak’s older brother.
