概要
The discovery of a dry cardboard box on a soaked property revealed 40-60 handwritten letters dated 1953-1971, signed by Lottie Marsh and addressed to Gina Bailey-letters that mentioned a sister no one in the family knew existed. How did decades of careful secrecy, a Nashville visit for a "medical matter," and a single line about "the baby" hide a truth that only a found box could expose?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events that led Beverly Dempsey to those letters, what the pages disclose about Lottie Ferrand's past identity, and the questions the family must now face about Vera and the unnamed "baby." What exactly did Lottie keep, and why did she write as Lottie Marsh to Gina Bailey for nearly two decades?
Person: Lottie Ferrand (born Lottie Marsh)
Person: Beverly Dempsey, age 52 at discovery
Person: Sandra Dempsey, age 74 in transcript
Person: Vera Marsh, died 1982 in Kentucky
Event: Letters dated 1953-1971, 40-60 handwritten pages
- The box was found bone dry beside the wellhouse after two days of rain on February 11, 2019.
- Beverly was 52 when Patricia called her about the box and she had inherited the Kellerton house after Lottie’s death in October 2016.
- The letters span from 1953 to 1971 and were bundled with stiff, yellowed kitchen twine.
- In a 1955 letter Gina references Vera and a Christmas remark, the first mention of Lottie’s sister to the family.
- In August 1961 Gina wrote, "I understand why you did what you did with the baby," implying an undisclosed event linked to Lottie.
