A single dark brown right shoe balanced on a gas meter outside 414 Ashfield Drive became the detail that misdirected investigators for three decades and framed a man with no clear proof. How did that solitary shoe become both the case's signal and its greatest deception?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from Ruth Barnes's move to Garnett Falls through her disappearance and the investigation that stalled despite a forced back door and a troubled ex-boyfriend; what finally answered the question everyone asked about the shoe and Ruth's fate?
Person: Ruth Barnes
Date: January 18, 1973
Location: 414 Ashfield Drive, Garnett Falls, Wisconsin
Cause of death: Manual strangulation
Investigator: Detective Phil Crane
- Ruth Barnes was 38 years old when she disappeared and had lived at 414 Ashfield Drive since spring 1968.
- A meter reader, Janet Sharp, found the right shoe on the gas meter at 8:15 AM on a Tuesday in January 1973.
- The left shoe and Ruth’s coat and purse were found inside the house; her car was in the garage.
- The back door latch showed recent splintering consistent with being forced before January 18, 1973.
- Ruth’s body was carried by the thawed Garnett River into a remanso two miles north of the Route Nine bridge in April 1973.
