The Thermos on the Spillway: How Arsenic Quietly Killed Raymond Jones

A chill morning found a thermos labeled "R. JONES" sitting upright on the Alderman Reservoir spillway, frost still on the concrete and Raymond Jones already dead for nine days. What was inside the thermos, and how did a long, slow poisoning go unnoticed through months of doctor visits, hospital care, and a routine workplace life?

In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events from the first discovery on January 9, 2014 to the reopening of the case that led investigators to request toxicology on Raymond's tissues 22 days after his death, asking how repeated gastrointestinal clusters at the same school pointed to a broader question about a hidden contaminant.

Person: Raymond Jones
Date: January 9, 2014 (thermos discovery); December 31, 2013 (death)
Location: Alderman Reservoir spillway; Alderman Consolidated School District
Status: Thermos photographed by Cheryl Meyer; tissues sent to state toxicology
Investigator: Keith Fisher, Alderman County Health Department

- Cheryl Meyer found and photographed the thermos at 7:12 AM on January 9, 2014; Raymond had been dead for nine days.
- The temperature at the spillway that morning was 18 degrees Fahrenheit and there were no footprints in the frost.
