The Clean Glass Plate: Photographer's Deadly Credit in 1931

Dust, a clean glass plate and a ledger with the words "no further extension" - a rural credit dispute turned into a body found beneath a limestone shelf with an upright, spotless dry plate angled over it. Who placed a photo where dew and red clay left everything else dirty, and what did that message mean to the traveling photographer already on the county's permits?

In this episode, we follow the discovery, the records, and the people who connected a vendor permit to two deaths across eight miles, asking whether a pattern of credit refusals and a photographer's route could explain the clean plate left at a crime scene.

Person: Debra Fitzgerald
Date: Third week of July, 1931 (Tuesday morning)
Location: Limestone shelf off Mercer Road, Harlow Basin
Person: Kenneth Weber
Document: Fitzgerald's ledger note - "no further extension" with $68

- Debra Fitzgerald was 54 years old and had run Fitzgerald Dry Goods for 22 years.
- Diane Harrison, a county surveyor, found Fitzgerald's body roughly 40 yards from Mercer Road.
- A clean, upright dry glass plate was found on the limestone shelf directly above the body and was free of red clay dust present elsewhere.
- Kenneth Weber was 39, a traveling photographer who filed vendor permits in Tate County from 1929-1931, with the 1929 permit naming Baines Crossing and the 1931 permit naming Fitzgerald Dry Goods.
- Clara Voss, 56, died in August 1929 on the outskirts of Baines Crossing with a piece of broken glass found near her body; Weber's 1929 permit listed Baines Crossing.
