The Chair That Vanished in Thirty Seconds at Marker Nine

A solitary wooden chair sat bone-dry in the middle of a rain-slick federal lane while the asphalt around it gleamed - then it vanished in under thirty seconds with no vehicle, wind, or physical disturbance. The image stayed in federal hands for two years and an unopened 41-page incident file from 1989 surfaced; what links the chair, the sealed report, and the name "Norman" found later in a notepad?

In this episode, we present the sequence of events that connect a 2017 morning sighting, a sudden disappearance witnessed by a federal liaison, and an archived administrative report from 1989. How did a chair become the center of a decades-spanning federal review, and what does the recurrence of one name suggest?

Person: Michelle Marshall
Date: June 2017
Location: Marker Nine, Harwick Basin, southwest Montana
Person: Cheryl Foster
Case: Incident report dated August 1989 (41 pages)

- Michelle Marshall photographed a dry wooden chair in the northbound lane at 6:15 AM on a Wednesday in the second week of June 2017.
- Marker Nine was designated a federal crossing in 1961 and sees about eleven vehicles through on a busy day.
- Cheryl Foster had been the sole officer at Marker Nine since 2014 and had 23 years of service with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- In 1989, officer Norman Ellard was found sitting in a wooden rocking chair in the vehicle lane, stopped logging and missing radio check-ins before dying of cardiac arrest in August 1989.
- Aaron Spence, a federal liaison from Billings, watched the chair at Marker Nine and estimated it disappeared in under thirty seconds; he later found the sealed 41-page incident report marked "INCIDENT REPORT - ADMINISTRATIVE HOLD - REFER TO REGIONAL COUNSEL" dated August 1989.
