Cold, locked, and inexplicable: a single tan canvas shoe-size seven, laces tied, a white sock folded inside-was found frozen solid on a ground-floor patio behind apartment fourteen, with the sliding door locked from the inside; how did that shoe get there and who left it? The shoe sat in an evidence locker in Portell, Ohio for thirty years while a partial fingerprint and two biological swabs were quietly preserved, waiting for a technology that didn't exist in 1987. Who connected those preserved traces to a man who bowled on Wednesdays and attended church on alternating Sundays?
In this episode, we lay out the facts recovered from the Sycamore Glen apartment and the decades-long investigation: the scene details, the preserved evidence, and the elusive visitor Nancy mentioned after a December party. What does the frozen shoe, the cleaned surfaces, and the later DNA profile reveal about the last hours of Nancy Olson?
Person: Nancy Olson
Date: January 5-9, 1987 (discovery on January 9)
Location: Apartment 14, Sycamore Glen, Portell, Ohio
Evidence: tan canvas right shoe (size 7), white sock, partial fingerprint, two cotton swabs
Status: evidence preserved; case remained open for decades
- A meter reader unhooked the patio latch on January 9, 1987 and found a tan canvas right shoe, size seven, with laces tied and a white sock folded inside, both frozen solid.
- The sliding patio door was locked from the inside with a hook-and-eye mechanism and the six-foot wooden fence made outside placement difficult without climbing.
- Nancy Olson lived alone in apartment fourteen, turned 24 in October 1986, worked 18 months as a design assistant at Haverfield Creative, and owned a tabby cat named Biscuit.
- Detective Pete Kosar collected a partial fingerprint from the interior bathroom window frame and two cotton swabs (from the shirt collar and the interior front door handle); all were sealed and frozen in January 1987.
- In 2003 a lab technician extracted a partial DNA profile from one of Kosar’s swabs, years after the evidence had been preserved.
