概要
A single yellow child's rain boot, size four, upright on a rusted grain wagon, led deputies to an empty farmhouse where fourteen adults and several children had vanished-no cars, no phones, and sixteen unopened family letters left in a drawer. How did a lay preacher turn grief support into a closed community, move at least $63,000 from members into his personal account, and silence correspondence until one boot broke the silence?
In this episode, we follow the timeline from the first encounter at a grief meeting to life at Meridian Acres, describing the community’s routines, the money transfers labeled "outreach materials," and the discovery that prompted a sheriff’s response-what finally exposed the control and where did the funds go?
Person: Norman Jenkins
Person: Stanley West
Location: Meridian Acres, Teller Township, Calvert County, Illinois
Date: March 2019 (discovery)
Event: $63,000 transferred from Common Provision to West’s personal account
- The boot was found by septic contractor Donald Gallagher at 7:00 AM on the third Tuesday of March, 2019.
- Fourteen adults and several children had left a farmhouse with sixteen unopened family letters in a drawer and no cars or phones.
- Norman Jenkins signed a power of attorney transferring approximately $41,000 into a group account called Common Provision in February 2018.
