The Folded Blouse That Exposed a Wartime Murder

A laundered, folded women's blouse with a brass name badge washed ashore two miles from town three weeks after the official death-yet the blouse carried a badge stamped DONNELLY, C., 4417 and Carol Donnelly had been declared a workplace accident on March 19, 1943. Who carried that blouse to the river and why did a maintenance log contradict the official accident report?

In this episode, we follow how routine paperwork, a maintenance ledger and a single civilian investigator reopened a closed file; the episode traces Carol Donnelly’s life, work record and the evidence that made her “accident” impossible. How did a hydraulic press listed out of service on March 14 produce a fatal accident on March 19?
