A single photo of a quart jar labeled "WELL" changed two deaths from private tragedies into a criminal inquiry: the jar sat in a precisely hollowed gap in a well cover and tested with arsenic concentrations far higher than the well water. Who left a new-lidded mason jar in a hidden shelf at well-cover height, and how did that one image become State's Exhibit Fourteen?
In this episode, we follow the chronology from a birder's May 14 photograph to the sheriff's office securing the jar the next morning, laying out how four generations of Dixon family water and two unexplained fatalities converged around that jar and the question it raised.
Person: Douglas Dixon
Date: May 14 (photo taken); May 15 (jar seized); June 22 (Douglas died)
Location: Renner Township, Kellum County
Cause: Inorganic arsenic detected in jar
- A birder, Ross Draper, photographed the quart jar on May 14 while documenting bobolinks at the Dixon back pasture.
- The jar was one quart, with a new lid and a black-marker label reading WELL.
- The jar sat in a precisely hollowed cavity in the well cover, sized for a one-quart mason jar with fresh, pale wood shavings.
- The jar's liquid tested at arsenic concentrations many times higher than the well water drawn from the same source.
- Douglas Dixon was admitted with acute gastrointestinal distress and peripheral neuropathy and died on June 22, fourteen days after admission.
