The Running Combine, the Green Thermos, and Eleven Missing Days

A running John Deere combine was found with its engine on, header engaged, cab door open and a green thermos upright on the exterior step-yet its lead operator, Nancy Dempsey, was gone. Eleven days would pass with no confirmed sighting after a 9:15 p.m. exit from a food distribution center and a final phone activity at 9:47 p.m.; how did a reliable, experienced operator vanish between her truck and the tree line?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline and the physical evidence discovered at Alderman Farm, from the farm routines Nancy kept to the anomalous running equipment and the mysterious prepaid phone text. What do the engine runtime, the thermos, and an anonymous message tell us about where Nancy might have gone?

Person: Nancy Dempsey
Age: 53
Date first found scene: June 9, 2011 at 7:14 a.m.
Location: Alderman Farm, Fulton County, Missouri
Last confirmed sighting: June 8, 2011 at 9:15 p.m.

- The combine engine was running and fuel was near empty when discovered at 7:14 a.m.
- Nancy had worked at Alderman Farm for eleven years as lead equipment operator and was the only woman to hold that position full-time in at least two decades.
- Nancy’s routine included being in the cab by 5:00 a.m. and stopping for lunch around 11:00 a.m. with black coffee in a green Stanley thermos kept in the cupholder.
- A text received at 9:47 p.m. read “I left something at the pump house, need five minutes,” and was opened on her phone; after 9:30 p.m. there were no outgoing texts or calls.
- A prepaid phone used to send that text had been purchased for cash seven weeks earlier and had called the Alderman Farm equipment barn three weeks earlier.
