A sealed glass syringe lay pressed against a dead woman's ribs for two years before anyone found it - still capped, still unnoticed, and never recorded. How did a death ruled heatstroke in 1934 hide a syringe and two other anomalies that weren't properly investigated, and what changed when a labor auditor reopened the case two years later?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the initial discovery to the later state audit and the questions that decision raised about the original ruling. We describe the scene, the official responses, and the details that were remembered but not acted upon - could those overlooked facts point to a very different cause of death?
