概要
A forgotten lanyard from 1983 found in the snow led to a closed grief group that collected $250,000 in contributions while occupying an abandoned youth camp without permission - but whose money actually disappeared? What did one man at a folding table with decades-old registration forms do with the names he read?
In this episode, we follow the formation of the Pine Watch, how members were recruited from church grief groups, the unauthorized occupation of Brightwater Youth Camp, and the slow unraveling that raised questions about stewardship and fraud - and whether any of the $63,000 contributions and other funds were used as promised.
Person: Kimberly Bailey
Location: Brightwater Youth Camp, Callen Township, Morrow County
Date: December 11, 2019
Amount: $63,000 (from one member's life insurance)
Status: Occupied without authorization
- Kimberly Bailey found a lanyard from 1983 stuck in a snowplow blade at 7:40 AM on December 11, 2019.
- The Brightwater Youth Camp had been abandoned since the original operators defaulted in 2009 and gated by the county.
- Thirty-one adults were living inside the camp's gates during Pine Watch's occupation.
- Marcia Padgett joined Pine Watch in February 2014 and contributed $63,000 from her late husband's life insurance as a "stewardship contribution."
- Steven Pruett observed Kevin Wright reading and marking decades-old camp registration forms in spring 2016, noting Wright's interest in families still in central Ohio.
