Fear and outrage collide when a frozen filing cabinet in a yard exposes a tiny broken letter that links four years of fabricated statements to $473,000 taken from 114 trusting people - how did a single typewriter defect become the clue that cracked the case?
In this episode, you will hear how a routine drain call led Michael Rice to photograph a scattered statement, how a broken capital R matched every fake page, and how small, methodical checks by family members and bank employees revealed the gap that started the investigation: could a misprinted R really unmask a long-running fraud?
Person: Michael Rice
Location: Alderton, Harlan County, Indiana
Event: Filing cabinet with scattered papers found on March 11

- The filing cabinet was found flat on frozen ground with both drawers open and papers in mud and frost.
