The Eleven Binders: How a Charm Turned Into Confinement

A cold garage, eleven three-ring binders labeled with first names, and handwriting that would become Exhibit Seven at trial-what looks like careful organization hides a system that turned steady people into isolated members of a closed group. How did a supply-chain coordinator who logged fourteen months of volunteer shifts end up surrendering rent, money, and contacts to a man calling his group the Progress Table?

In this episode, we follow the discovery of those binders and trace how a routine-seeming organization led to communal living, large financial transfers, and a sealed house on Elkhart Road-raising the question of where persuasion ends and confinement begins.

Person: Carl Sullivan
Person: Mark Sharp
Location: Elkhart Road, Pallton, Indiana
Date: February 11, 2019

- Carl Sullivan moved to Pallton around mid-2016 at age 26 and worked as a supply-chain coordinator.

- Carl's binder contained 240 pages of handwriting and became Exhibit Seven at trial.
