A neighbor finds a seventy-one-year-old man's sealed engineering notebook in a creek-was it lost, planted, or a clue to a missing life savings?

The Notebook in the Creek: How a Helper Stole a Life savings

In this episode, we follow the discovery of a leather engineering field notebook found in a zip-lock bag on a creek bank and the welfare check that follows. The episode covers the relationships, routines, and small changes around Howard Slater that raise uncomfortable questions: who had access, and what was taken?

Person: Howard Slater
Date: February 9, 2019
Location: Ridgeline Trail / 4 Alderman Court
Person: Mark Duncan
Status: field notebook recovered by Adult Protective Services

- A rescue dog yanked Sharon Bell off Ridgeline Trail and led her to a sealed zip-lock bag containing Howard Slater’s 1994 engineering notebook.
- Howard, 71, lived 0.3 miles from the trail, kept meticulous notebooks, volunteered weekly at the library, and had recently been widowed.
- Mark Duncan presented himself as an elder care consultant and handyman and was inside Howard’s house four to five times each week for sixteen months.
- Patrice, Howard’s daughter, noticed changes in his answers in 2018 and reported concerns to county services; a neighbor logged repeated visits and unplugged phone lines.
- Adult Protective Services investigator Steven Romano collected the notebook and confronted the puzzle of a staged scene and $214,000 that had already moved out of Howard’s life.
