The Shoe on the Trough: How a Missing Flat Exposed a Killer

A cream-colored casino employee flat sat perfectly centered on a frosted cattle trough, but the shoe carried no frost - meaning it was placed after 2:00 a.m. in 19-degree air, three miles from the nearest road and thirty yards from the highway. How did one lone shoe, missing from a locked car, become the single clue that would unravel what happened to Carol Stroud?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from Carol’s last confirmed sighting on security camera footage at 11:17 p.m. to the discovery of the shoe at 6:40 a.m., and then to the body found three days later, as investigators piece together where a routine shift at Painted Rock Casino ended and a homicide began. What do the frozen ground, the shoe’s brand, and an empty parking lot tell us about the night she vanished?

Person: Carol Stroud
Date (disappearance): December 3, 2009
Date (shoe found): December 11, 2009 at 6:40 a.m.
Location (shoe): Hendricks Spur Road, on top of a dry cattle trough

- Carol worked three years as a floor supervisor at Painted Rock Casino and was 28 years old.
- Security footage recorded her walking toward the employee parking lot stairwell at 11:17 p.m, on December 3.
