The Shoe Under the Floor: How Dunnfield Forgot a Boy for 32 Years

Fear that something ordinary hides a terrible secret: a child's left white canvas sneaker with a blue stripe stood upright beneath a concrete floor, buried since September 12, 1989 - the floor was poured two days after nine-year-old Scott Powell vanished. How did a 40-square-foot floor repair at a plant less than 1.25 miles from his home go unread in the case file for 32 years, and whose work covered the trail?

In this episode, we follow the documentary trail in the case file and the people who handled it over decades, from Detective Ray Kowalski to the cold-case investigator Denise O'Brien, and ask whether procedural habit and a single unopened repair permit kept the answer hidden until 2021.

Person: Scott Powell
Date: September 12, 1989
Location: Stedman Fabricating east bay floor, Dunnfield, Indiana
Case: Missing child; file reopened by cold-case review in 2019-2021
Event: 40-square-foot floor section broken up and repoured on September 14-15, 1989

- The sneaker found was a left-foot child's white canvas shoe with a blue stripe, standing upright under a concrete floor.
- Scott Powell was nine years old when he disappeared after leaving a store at approximately 4:15 PM on September 12, 1989.
- A witness reported seeing Scott beside a gray pickup on Granger Avenue and provided a partial plate prefix "DW," leading to 17 registered trucks being checked.
- A repair permit in the case file documented a 40-square-foot section of the east bay floor at Stedman Fabricating broken up and repoured on September 14-15, 1989.
- The repair permit and contractor name Frank Mason remained unread in Detective Kowalski’s file for 32 years until Denise O'Brien reviewed the materials in 2019-2021.
