The Wallet by the Meter: How a 40-Year Lie Began

A meter reader found a burgundy passport wallet wedged beside a gas meter on December 11, 1983, containing a Mexican tourist visa that expired two days later and a Chihuahua City phone number - but no passport. Who left that wallet tucked into the stucco wall, and why would a traveler abandon the one document that would legally let her cross the border?

In this episode, we walk through the timeline from the missing Thursday visit that started the case to the archival memo that contradicted four decades of assumptions. The episode follows the evidence left at the scene, the initial conclusions by law enforcement, and the discovery that the visa’s expiry date and a missing work-order closure don’t add up - so what actually happened to Jessica Zimmerman?
