The Ketchup Note: How a Dog's Collar Ended an 11-Day Nightmare

A meter reader followed a pacing dog to a vacant property and found a folded paper towel threaded through the collar with letters pressed in dried ketchup - a message that became State's Exhibit Seven and led to a man freed after eleven days locked in a basement. How did a routine volunteer’s Tuesday schedule, a found ketchup packet, and a border collie named Hatch combine to unspool a plan that hid a corpse for two years?

In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the abandoned gray Ford Ranger on Barlow Creek Road to the discovery on Elton Spur Road, detailing the people, locations, and small objects that intersected to end Dean Fleming’s captivity and expose another man’s death - could a single note and a dog really turn the tide?

Person: Dean Fleming
Person: Rachel Hill
Location: Elton Spur Road property
Event: Dean held in basement for eleven days
Evidence: State's Exhibit Seven (ketchup-written note)

- Dean Fleming left the food shelf at 9:12 PM on February 11 and did not arrive home.
- A deputy logged a gray Ford Ranger parked on Barlow Creek Road at 10:40 PM that same night with hazard lights on.
- Dean was missing for two days before his brother Clint filed a missing-persons report on February 13.
- The Elton Spur Road property had a reinforced exterior-access basement and a single small egress window noted in an animal control report the previous June.
- Hatch, a three-year-old border collie mix, was brought to the basement on Day Nightmare and had a folded paper towel with ketchup-lettering on his collar that became State's Exhibit Seven.
